About this map

Gulf of Mexico waters dominate this coastal survey of the Terrebonne Parish shoreline as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map depicts a transitional aquatic landscape where the open gulf meets the fragmented wetlands of the Louisiana coast. In the northeastern corner, the intricate network of tidal channels and marshlands is represented by Buckes Bayou, which winds through the low-lying terrain. This chart captures the sparse, shifting interface between land and sea in a region defined by constant coastal erosion and sediment movement, illustrating how little solid ground remains at this extreme edge of the state.
