Figure 1. (A) Inset map of the Mississippi Delta region including surrounding portions of coastal Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. (B) Schematic diagram of Mississippi Delta Complex sublobes (colored and outlined polygons) showing the relative timing (1-16) of their development (modified from Penland and others, 2002). The Chandeleur Islands lie on the eastern edge of the Mississippi Delta (also see fig. 2), and are associated with the St. Bernard sublobe, which formed between approximately 4,600 and 1,800 years BP. |
