About this map

Lake Borgne and the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico dominate this coastal landscape in St. Bernard Parish. The shoreline is defined by the sharp protrusion of Proctor Point, a marshy landform where the waters of Flagpole Bayou meet the lake. To the south, the massive Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet Canal cuts a straight path across the wetlands, fundamentally altering the natural hydrology of the region. This modern topographic record captures the intricate network of tidal channels that lace through the coastal salt marshes, including Grand Bayou, Stump Bayou, and Fort Bayou. The map illustrates a landscape of extreme susceptibility to coastal erosion and subsidence, where the distinction between land and water is perpetually fluid.
