2015 Map of Triumph

About this map

Fort Jackson stands as a prominent historical sentinel overlooking Plaquemines Bend in this 2015 study of the Mississippi River delta. The settlement pattern follows the narrow levees along the Mississippi River, where Triumph, Boothville, and Gulftown are concentrated between the river and the encroaching wetlands. This survey illustrates the precarious geography of the lower reach, where roads like Boothville River Rd and La-23 provide the primary lifelines through the marshy terrain. To the south and west, an intricate network of waterways including Bayou Grand Liard, Spanish Pass, and Bay Tambour dominates the landscape as it transitions toward the Gulf of Mexico. The map documents the persistent relationship between these small delta communities and the shifting coastal environment, including the location of the Boothville Cem and smaller landings like Olga and Duvic.
