The waters of the Gulf of Mexico dominate this southern coastal reach of Plaquemines Parish. This modern 2024 survey reflects the vast open-water character of the outer Mississippi River delta region, where land transitions almost entirely into maritime space. Without documented terrestrial elevations or human settlements, the map emphasizes the maritime boundaries and the sheer scale of the Gulf interface at this specific point on the Louisiana coastline. It serves as a stark primary reference for the current state of the parish's coastal limits, capturing a landscape defined by water and the absence of traditional inland features.
