Description
FOR non-AGOL ACCOUNT HOLDERS, DOWNLOAD THIS GEOSPATIAL DATA HERE: https://gis-fws.opendata.arcgis.com/search?tags=lmvjv Data defines the boundary of the LMR batture, the alluvial lands and waters remaining between the low-tide of the Mississippi River and the levees or bluffs along the eastern and western banks of the Mississippi River. The Mississippi batture stretches from Cairo, Illinois, to the Port of Baton Rouge in Louisiana and covers approximately 2 million acres. BatturePoly.shp was built directly from BattureArcs.shp. Upstream of Baton Rouge, the batture averages 6.5 miles wide and is up to 15 miles wide in some places, according to an article by scientists at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center, or ERDC.
