2020 Map of Mulberry Island West

About this map

Mulberry Island sits at the edge of the Louisiana coastline in Vermilion Parish, where the marshy southern landscape meets the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This low-lying coastal environment is defined by its remote aquatic geography, characterized by the narrow Dewitt Canal cutting through the northern portion of the quadrangle. The map illustrates the fragile transition between land and sea, revealing the section lines of the Public Land Survey System that extend into the coastal marsh within t16s r1w, t16s r1e, and t17s r1e. This 2020 record captures a specific moment in the shifting coastal topography of southern Louisiana, essential for understanding the contemporary shoreline and the waterway network used for local navigation and drainage.
