About this map

Fort Jackson stands as a prominent landmark on the western bank of the Mississippi River, guarding the approach at Plaquemines Bend. This coastal landscape in southern Louisiana is defined by a thin ribbon of habitable land protected by a Levee system, where the settlements of Triumph, Olga, and Boothville follow the curve of the river. Beyond the protected corridor, the map reveals an intricate network of wetlands and tidal channels, including Bayou Plaquemines and Bayou Grand Liard.

Transportation and infrastructure are concentrated along the riverbank, with Hwy 11 and the Triumph Air Strip serving the local population. To the south and east, the map transitions into the expansive waters of Bay Carrion Crow and Hospital Bay, separated from the Gulf by a maze of passes like Spanish Pass. This survey provides an essential view of the precarious balance between human settlement and the encroaching delta waters, including local sites like the Boothville Venice Cem.
