About this map

Indian Mound Bay and the surrounding marshlands of St. Bernard Parish appear in this mid-1990s record of a shifting coastal landscape. This intricate network of tidal waters and marsh is defined by prominent features such as the Mud Grass Islands and the Grass Islands, which separate the larger bays from interior lagoons. The waterway system includes deep interior channels like Oak Mound Bayou and Smack Bayou, which feed into Fishing Smack Bay. Toward the southern reach of the sheet, Bayou De Soto and Anderson Point mark the transition into Drum Bay. The geography is characterized by numerous navigable passes, including Southwest Pass, Dutchman Pass, and the curiously named Hell Pass, illustrating the complex water-based navigation required in this part of the Louisiana delta.
