2018 Map of Pass Tante Phine

About this map

Pass Tante Phine and the intricate web of surrounding bayous define this lower Plaquemines Parish landscape as it reaches into the Gulf of Mexico. This coastal region is a labyrinth of natural and historical water routes, including the Old Spanish Pass and its more modern counterpart, Spanish Pass. The terrain is dominated by fragmented wetlands and shifting landforms like Sandy Point, where the transition from marsh to open sea is punctuated by numerous named inlets such as Bayou Jacques and Bayou Alphonse. Human presence is marked by the utilities of the oil and gas industry, visible through the inclusion of Tidewater Rd and DGS Rd, which provide access to this water-logged environment. These roads contrast with the organic shapes of Pass P'tit Francois and Red Pass, illustrating the continued effort to navigate and utilize the changing Louisiana shoreline.
