2020 Map of New Harbor Islands

About this map

New Harbor Islands sit at the eastern reaches of Saint Bernard Parish, marking a delicate boundary between the sheltered sound and the open Gulf of Mexico. This coastal landscape, documented as it stood in 2020, shows a series of disconnected landmasses and sandbars. The isolation of these features reflects the shifting nature of the Louisiana shoreline, where small islands are often the only markers for maritime navigation and habitat preservation in a landscape defined by water. With no roads or structures present, the area remains an untouched marine environment where the bathymetry and changing shapes of the land are the primary focus for researchers and local historians.
