2025 Map of Mulberry Island West

About this map

Mulberry Island sits as a narrow, low-lying landform along the coastal wetlands of Vermilion Parish, where the land begins to dissolve into the Gulf of America. This coastal environment is defined by the engineered path of Dewitt Canal, which cuts through the marshy terrain to facilitate navigation and water management in this maritime landscape. The minimal elevation and presence of extensive wetlands illustrate the fragile nature of the Louisiana coastline, providing a specific record of the shoreline and its few man-made alterations. For those studying coastal change or local waterways, this survey documents the precise position of these features in the mid-2020s.
