  • Geology of the Plaquemine 7.5-Minute Quadrangle, LA
    Geology of the Plaquemine 7.5-Minute Quadrangle, LA Louisiana Geological Survey Introduction, Location, and Geologic Setting The Plaquemine 7.5-minute quadrangle lies in the southeastern portion of the south Louisiana coastal plain (Figures 1, 2), situated mostly in the Holocene Mississippi River flood plain but overlapping Pleistocene uplands at its northeast corner. The axis of the deep- subsurface lower Cretaceous shelf edge (Toledo Bend flexure), which trends west-northwest to east-southeast, lies approximately 30 km (18.6 mi) to the north of the study area. The surface of Plaquemine quadrangle comprises mostly Holocene deposits associated with the most recent course of the Mississippi River, course 1. The northeast corner uplands represent strata of the Pleistocene Hammond alloformation, Prairie Allogroup. The Hammond is covered by late Pleistocene Peoria Loess that is 3–5 m (~10–16 ft) thick. The units recognized and mapped in this investigation are summarized in Figures 3 and 4. Previous Work The Plaquemine quadrangle covers portions of three parishes (Figure 1), West Baton Rouge, East Baton Rouge, and Iberville. It lies in the northeastern portion of the Baton Rouge 30 × 60 minute quadrangle, the surface geology of which was compiled at 1:100,000 scale by Heinrich and Autin (2000), originally with STATEMAP support. Prior to this compilation, Self (1980, 1986) mapped the surface geology of the uplands of all of Louisiana’s “Florida” parishes in southeastern Louisiana, though at 1:250,000 scale, and Autin and McCulloh (1991) mapped the surface geology of East Baton Rouge Parish at 1:24,000 scale.

Observed tree mortality rates at study sites in the Maurepas swamp are very high (up to 100% tree mortality in 11 years) and basal area decreased with average salinities of <1 ppt. Habitat classification, vegetation productivity and mortality, and surface elevation changes show a clear trajectory from stagnant, nearly permanently flooded forests with broken canopy to degraded forests with sparse baldcypress and dominated by herbaceous species and open water to open water habitat for most of the Maurepas swamp without introduction of fresh water to combat saltwater intrusion and stimulate productivity and accretion.
