1992 Map of Bertrandville

About this map

The Mississippi River winds along the eastern edge of this coastal Louisiana landscape, defining a narrow corridor of settlements like Linwood and Bertrandville perched on the natural levee. This 1992 revision reveals a complex hydraulic environment where human engineering meets the wetland, featuring the Intracoastal Waterway and various cuts like the Hero Cutoff. The massive infrastructure of the US Naval Air Station (Alvin Callender Field) dominates the central plain, while the western reaches transition into the protected swamps of the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve. Local life is anchored by institutions such as St John The Baptist Ch and schools including Truman Jr High Sch, reflecting the community growth around Estelle and Crown Point during the late twentieth century.
