The low-lying delta of Plaquemines Parish unfolds as a complex network of wetlands and open water where the Mississippi River meets the Gulf of Mexico. This coastal landscape is dominated by tidal channels and shallow basins, including uniquely named features like Dead Women Pass and Dead Women Bend. The area is characterized by shifting landmasses such as Goose Island, Spanish Island, and Brant Island, which are surrounded by a labyrinth of water bodies including Horse Duck Pond and Tilitie Pond.
