2018 Map of Point au Fer NE
USGS Topo · Published 2018About this map
The Lower Atchafalaya River dominates this coastal landscape where the river system discharges into Atchafalaya Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. This 2018 survey documents a fluid environment of shifting sediment and marshland at the border of Terrebonne and St. Mary Parishes. The complex network of waterways, including Shell Island Pass and Deer Island Bayou, defines the accessibility of the region's isolated landmasses. Navigation through these coastal wetlands relies on several distinct natural channels like Plumb Island Pass and Little Hog Bayou. This environment reflects the ongoing deltaic processes of the Louisiana coast, where prominent features like Shell Island, Deer Island, and Plumb Island stand as markers amidst the surrounding waters of East Bay and Little Bay.
