About this map

The Mississippi River defines the landscape of Plaquemines Parish in the mid-1960s, winding past river-fronting settlements like Belle Chasse and Braithwaite. This survey illustrates the intricate balance between heavy maritime industry and the marshy expanses of the Mississippi delta. Transportation infrastructure is dense along the banks, featuring the Southern Railroad, the Belle Chasse Ferry, and the Sea Train Terminal.
