Pass Tante Phine and its complex network of waterways define this corner of Plaquemines Parish as it meets the Gulf of America. The landscape is dominated by the shifting hydrology of the Mississippi River delta, where Red Pass and the Old Spanish Pass cut through fragile marshlands. These passes serve as critical historical and modern corridors for coastal navigation and the local fishing industry. On the eastern edge, the presence of Tidewater Rd and DGS Rd provides a rare terrestrial footprint in a region otherwise surrendered to the tides and tidal bays. The intricate connections between features like Bayou Alphonse, Bog Pond, and Sandy Point Bay illustrate the ongoing evolution of the shoreline as sediment and seawater constantly reshape the delta’s edge.
