Stake Islands and the surrounding barrier chains of the Chandeleur National Wildlife Refuge appear here as they were charted in the early 1950s. This survey, conducted by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, documents the ephemeral nature of the Louisiana coastline where Chandeleur Sound meets the Gulf of Mexico. The map details a string of vulnerable landforms including the Palos Islands, Boot Island, and the Breton Islands, interspersed with hazards like Conocka Shoal.
