2018 Map of New Harbor Islands

About this map

New Harbor Islands fragment across the open waters of the Chandeleur Sound in this Saint Bernard Parish coastal survey. The map depicts several small landmasses and shoals that form part of the barrier island chain protecting the Louisiana coast from the Gulf of Mexico. These low-lying features are critical markers for maritime navigation and coastal history in the region. Because the map focuses on the dynamic interface between the sound and the gulf, it captures a landscape defined entirely by water and shifting sediment rather than permanent terrestrial infrastructure or settlements. It serves as a focused look at the remote reaches of the parish's maritime territory.
