Barataria Bay Waterway serves as the central artery through this coastal landscape, cutting a straight path through the complex marshlands of Jefferson Parish. This 2020 map documents the intricate hydrography of the Barataria Basin, where natural bayous like Bayou Rigolettes and Bayou Dupont meet engineered channels like Dupre Cut. The region is defined by its expansive water bodies, including Three Bayou Bay, Turtle Bay, and Long Bay, illustrating the fragile interface between land and sea in the Mississippi River Delta.
