2018 Map of North Islands OE W

About this map

North Islands sit at the lower reaches of this maritime survey in Saint Bernard Parish, Louisiana. This specific coastal area consists primarily of the expansive waters of Chandeleur Sound, an environment defined by its shifting aquatic boundaries rather than terrestrial settlements. The lack of infrastructure or inland features reflects the extreme outer reaches of the Mississippi River Delta's influence, where the gulf begins to dominate the landscape. For researchers of coastal change, this 2018 record provides a precise baseline of the shoreline and visible landmasses as they existed during that season's hydrographic data collection.
