2024 Map of South Pass

About this map

Port Eads stands at the tip of the Mississippi River delta, marking the transition from the river's main southern artery into the Gulf of Mexico. This coastal landscape is defined by an intricate network of distributaries, including South Pass, Dennis Pass, and Johnson Pass, which carve through the marshlands toward the open sea. The map reveals the shifting nature of the Louisiana shoreline, where large bodies of water like East Bay and Whale Bay dominate the western edge, while Garden Island Bay frames the east.
