2018 Map of Bertrandville

About this map

The Mississippi River defines the eastern boundary of this landscape, where long-established riverside communities like Augusta, Bertrandville, and Jesuits Bend contrast with the dense suburban grids of Gretna and Woodmere to the north. This 2018 survey illustrates the complex water management systems of the West Bank, featuring the Intracoastal Waterway and various arteries like the Hero Canal and Augusta Canal that slice through the low-lying wetlands. Much of the western territory is preserved within the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve, protecting the natural Bayou des Familles and Bayou aux Carpes. Military and aviation infrastructure occupy significant ground here, including the NAS JRB New Orleans and the Southern Seaplane Airport, reflecting the region's strategic coastal location and its reliance on both water and air transport.
