2024 Map of Western Isles Dernieres

About this map

Isles Dernieres stretches across this coastal survey, representing a critical chain of barrier islands on the edge of the Gulf of Mexico. The map documents the fragile geography of Raccoon Island and the prominent Raccoon Point, illustrating the current state of these landforms against the waters of Caillou Bay. This region is defined by its isolation and the shifting hydrography of Coupe Colin, where the lack of roads or permanent settlements emphasizes the role of these islands as natural buffers and habitat zones rather than centers of human industry. The inclusion of Public Land Survey System boundaries such as t24s r15e and t24s r16e over open water and marsh highlights the intersection of formal property grids with an ever-changing maritime environment.
