About this map

Proctor Point reaches into the expansive waters of Lake Borgne in this late-1960s coastal survey of St. Bernard Parish. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of tidal channels including Bayou Flagpole, Camp Bayou, and Grand Bayou. To the south, the industrial footprint of the mid-20th century is evident where the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet Canal cuts through the marshland, flanked by a designated Spoil Area. Local-history researchers can observe the hydrographic shifts between the original 1952 planimetry and the 1976 photorevisions, particularly around Flat Bayou and Stump Bayou. Small navigation markers and a Drill Hole highlight the intersection of coastal shipping and resource exploration in this marshy environment.
