1994 Map of Proctor Point

About this map

Lake Borgne dominates this coastal survey, where the intricate marshlands of St. Bernard Parish meet the open water. The landscape is defined by the shifting interface of land and sea, most notably at Proctor Point and along the winding course of Grand Bayou. This edition reflects the mid-1990s geography of the region, emphasizing the significant engineering interventions that have reshaped the Louisiana coastline. The prominent Mississippi River Gulf Outlet Canal cuts through the southern portion of the sheet, flanked by a massive Levee and designated Spoil Area. These features illustrate the scale of maritime infrastructure required to connect the river to the gulf, even as the surrounding terrain remains a complex network of waterways and small elevations like Flagpole.
