Title: Southern Louisiana, USA
Description:
Almost all of southern Louisiana (30.5N, 92.0E) can be seen in great detail
in this single view from space. The rich river bottom land flanking both
sides of the Mississippi River and the patchwork mosiac of agricultural
fields of the farms stand out. The lush vegetation of the marshlands and
bayous can also be seen. New Orleans, on the south shore of Lake
Pontchartrain and the vehicle causeway also stand out in good detail.
