1955 Map of Point Chicot

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Chandeleur Sound and Breton Sound meet in this mid-century maritime survey, illustrating the isolated marsh islands and coastal waters of St. Bernard Parish. The chart highlights the narrow, elongated profile of Chicot Island, which is separated from the mainland by Chicot Pass. Navigational markers such as the Point Chicot Light and a lone Beacon indicate the vital shipping routes through these shallow waters. To the northwest, the map captures the fragmented shoreline of Deadman Island and the nearby Grass Island within Eloi Bay. This document is a precise record of the Louisiana coastline before significant twentieth-century erosion and subsiding modified these barrier features, showing the exact position of landforms like Deadman Point and the parish boundary between St. Bernard Parish and Plaquemines Parish.
