1968 Map of Pointe aux Marchettes

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Lake Borgne and the sprawling marshlands of St. Bernard Parish dominate this coastal survey, where the intricate hydrology of the Mississippi River Delta is on full display. This landscape is defined by the Biloxi State Wildlife Management Area, a vast expanse of wetlands threaded by a complex network of waterways including Biloxi Bayou, Hasouse Bayou, and Magnolia Bayou. The map reveals the intersection of conservation and industry, showing the Bayou Biloxi Gas Field and a scattered Drill Hole alongside sensitive estuarine environments. Navigation is marked by a Light near the mouth of Bayou St Malo, while the presence of Magnolia Mound provides a rare point of relief in the low-lying terrain. From the northern reaches of Magill Lagoon to the southern sweep of Bayou La Loutre, the map documents a territory where shifting shorelines at Pte aux Marchettes reflect the constant influence of the Gulf's tides.
