1969 Map of Bonnet Carre

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Bonnet Carre Spillway dominates this mid-century landscape, a massive flood control structure engineered between Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River. This era of industrial growth is marked by the presence of the Laplace Oil and Gas Field and similar operations at Norco and Good Hope. Transportation corridors define the region's geography, with the Illinois Central Railroad and the Old Hammond Highway skirting the marshlands. Small riverfront communities like Lucy, Killona, and Montz—home to the Montz Cem—sit along the levee, contrasting with the expanding suburban developments of Carrollwood and Riverland Heights. To the east, the infrastructure of the New Orleans International Airport (Moisant Field) begins to encroach on the wetlands near Kenner.
