1939 Map of Chalmette
USGS Topo · Published 1939About this map
The Mississippi River defines the landscape of this 1930s survey, sweeping through the delta past riverfront settlements and industrial infrastructure. The area around Chalmette is densely detailed, featuring the Chalmette Nat Mon and Chalmette Nat Cem, which mark the historical significance of this bend in the river. Narrow land lots extend back from the riverbanks towards the Back Protection Levee, a classic long-lot land pattern typical of French colonial influence in Louisiana.
