DESCRIPTION

Chart of the Delta of The Mississippi detailing the Louisiana coast from Passe À L'Outre, Blind Bay, and N.E. Pass, and S.E. Pass.  Many detailed notes showing depth soundings, stakes, locations of lighthouses, shoals, drift trees, and channels are shown. Sailing instructions, tidal information, and notes are included.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

All of our United States Coast Survey (USCS), United States Coast & Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), and similar maps and charts have been professionally unfolded and flattened using humidity baths, semi-permeable membrane, and drying blotter techniques.  Most others you typically see on eBay have not been, and worse, are quickly and crudely unfolded for the low-quality photos you see.  Unfolding these maps in that way is damaging and weakens them. Please be aware.
