1966 Map of Belle Chasse
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
Mississippi River meanders sharply through this mid-1960s landscape, defining the boundaries between Orleans, St. Bernard, and Plaquemines parishes. The western bank is anchored by the community of Belle Chasse, where the Belle Chasse Ferry provides a vital river crossing and the Sea Train Terminal indicates the era's maritime industrial activity. On the opposite bank, small settlements like Braithwaite, Scarsdale, and Caernarvon sit protected behind an extensive levee system, bordered by the Southern Railroad.
