1955 Map of Three Mile Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Mississippi Sound borders a complex system of marshes and tidal inlets in this coastal survey of St. Bernard Parish. The landscape is defined by its transition from open water into a labyrinth of named bayous and bays, such as Turkey Bayou and Johnson Bay. This environment reflects the dynamic coastal geography of Louisiana in the mid-1950s, where small landmasses like Raccoon Island and Shell Island provide minimal solid footing among the expansive wetlands.
