2020 Map of Point Chicot OE S

About this map

Plaquemines Parish defines the northern boundary of this maritime sheet, situated in the low-lying coastal marshes of southeastern Louisiana. This 2020 survey of the Point Chicot OE S quadrangle represents a landscape dominated by the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico, where subtle shifts in the shoreline and parish boundaries are of primary interest to those tracking coastal changes. As a digital-era product, it relies on hydrography data from the National Hydrography Dataset, though the map remains remarkably sparse, focusing on the aquatic expanse south of the main parish landmasses. The lack of terrestrial labels highlights the vulnerability of this region, where the historical parish lines often cross through areas now reclaimed by the sea.
