1949 Map of Alligator Point
USGS Topo · Published 1949About this map
The coastal marshlands of Orleans Parish are defined by an intricate network of waterways where the Louisville and Nashville railroad cuts a straight path across the wetlands. This mid-century survey captures the landscape as it appeared in the late 1940s, shortly after the era of the Board of State Engineers. The rail line serves as the primary terrestrial artery, crossing over Unknown Pass and skirting the edge of Lake Catherine. To the south and east, the land dissolves into the expanse of Lake Borgne, punctuated by points such as Shell Pt and Alligator Pt.
