About this map

Tante Phine Pass and the surrounding marshlands of Plaquemines Parish appear here in an intricate web of waterways and coastal wetlands. This 1935 field examination, compiled from Army Air Corps aerial photography, reveals the complex hydraulic landscape of the Mississippi River Delta before modern coastal erosion and engineering significantly altered these shorelines. The map documents a hybrid environment of natural bayous like Tiger Pass and Kiger Bayou alongside industrial and navigational improvements such as the Company Canal and Venice Canal. A solitary Wharf near Tit Pass and Tony Pass points to the maritime activity of the era. The vastness of Bay Tambour and Sandy Point Bay dominates the western edge, illustrating the precarious balance between the Gulf of Mexico and the interior marsh.
