1935 Map of South Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Port Eads serves as a critical outpost at the edge of the Gulf of Mexico, marking the narrow passage where the Mississippi River delta meets the sea. This 1935 field examination reveals the intricate network of distributaries and marshes that define Plaquemines Parish, featuring a labyrinth of water bodies such as Valentiers Pond, Loomis Pond, and Johnson Pond. The maritime character of the region is emphasized by the Pilot Sta and the South Pass L H, alongside the engineered East Jetty and West Jetty that direct the flow of the South Pass.
