1893 Map of West Delta

USGS Topo · Published 1928

About this map

The deltaic finger of the South West Pass extends deep into the Gulf of Mexico, anchoring this maritime survey of the southernmost reaches of Plaquemines Parish. Topography compiled by H.L. Baldwin Jr. captures the precarious landscape of the lower Mississippi River, where the entire area sits less than five feet above sea level. This is a world of navigational infrastructure and shifting silts, dominated by the branching distributaries of Grand Pass, Tiger Pass, and Williams Pass.
