About this map

The Lower Atchafalaya River dominates this coastal landscape, flowing south into the expansive Atchafalaya Bay along the boundary of Terrebonne Parish and St. Mary Parish. This contemporary survey reveals a dynamic delta environment where complex waterways like Shell Island Pass and Deer Island Pass thread through marshy landforms. The terrain is characterized by a series of low-lying islands, including Shell Island, Deer Island, and Plumb Island, which are separated by smaller channels such as Deer Island Bayou and Crooked Bayou. The absence of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the natural state of this coastal wetland, where geographic markers like Plumb Island Point serve as primary landmarks for navigation. This map offers a detailed view of the modern shoreline and hydrologic patterns in this southern Louisiana parish boundary region.
