1955 Map of Point Chicot

About this map

Deadman Island and the fragmented marshlands of the outer Mississippi Delta define this coastal environment during the mid-1950s. Located at the intersection of Eloi Bay, Breton Sound, and Chandeleur Sound, the landscape consists of low-lying islands and narrow passes. The presence of the Point Chicot Light and a designated Beacon suggests the importance of this area for maritime navigation through the shifting shallows.
