2018 Map of Wilkinson Bay

About this map

The coastal marshlands and open waters of Jefferson Parish and Plaquemines Parish are meticulously detailed in this contemporary coastal survey. The boundary between the two parishes meanders through the central portion of the map, cutting across the Gulf of Mexico and separating the inner waters of Barataria Bay from the labyrinth of wetlands to the north. This environment is characterized by precarious landmasses and vital coastal navigation routes, most notably the Barataria Bay Waterway, which provides a critical corridor through the shifting sediment.
