1966 Map of Bertrandville

About this map

U S Naval Air Station (Alvin Callender Field) anchors the eastern bank of the Mississippi River in this survey of the delta landscape south of New Orleans. The map captures a complex network of waterways, including the Intracoastal Waterway Barataria Bayou and the Hero Cutoff, illustrating how the region's transport and industry evolved through the mid-20th century. To the west, the preservation of Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Reserve provides a stark contrast to the developed corridors of Crown Point and Bertrandville. Small riverfront settlements like Promised Land and Linwood sit near the levees, while inland schoolhouses such as Rosethorn Sch and Miller Wall Sch suggest the distribution of the local population during this era of post-war growth and industrial expansion.
