Building on the USGS Louisiana Barrier Island Study (Williams and others, 1992), this data layer depicts the North Chandeleur Island as is stood in 1855.
In order to quantify shoreline changes since 1989, new vertical aerial mapping photography was acquired on December 9, 1996. The methods and transects used by McBride and others (1992) were used to insure data compatibility of the new measurements and analysis .
