1993 Map of Taylor Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Breton Sound dominates this coastal survey of the Mississippi River Delta's outer reaches, where the shifting boundary between marsh and open water is meticulously recorded. The landscape is defined by the shallow expanse of Taylor Pass and the isolated landform of Bird Island, situated just north of the marshy inlets of Grand Bay. By the early 1990s, human industrial presence in this marine environment was firmly established through offshore infrastructure, including several Oil Wells and a grouping of Platforms. The map reveals the intricate network of canals and bayous at the very edge of Plaquemines Parish, providing a detailed look at the hydrology and energy industry footprint in this fragile deltaic ecosystem before further coastal erosion altered the shoreline.
