Maps
Here you will find maps created by Lower Mississippi-Gulf scientists that lend visual identity to our data. The maps you find in this section were devised by our scientists using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) that help us interpret the data through spatial and geographic imagery.
Floodplain Ecosystem Service Mapper
Healthy floodplains and wetlands provide critical ecosystem services to local and downstream communities by retaining sediments, nutrients, and floodwaters. Land conversion and degradation diminish floodplain functionality and services.
Louisiana Flood Alert Map
These Louisiana Maps were developed to communicate Flood Warning notifications to citizens and government employees.
