1951 Map of Chalmette

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Mississippi River defines the structure of this coastal landscape, where narrow strips of developed land and plantations like Stanton parallel the river's great bend at English Turn. In the early 1950s, the community of Chalmette and newer developments such as St Claude Heights and Chalmette Vista show the post-war expansion of New Orleans' eastern suburbs. The map captures a high concentration of commemorative and strategic sites, including the Chalmette Nat Mon and Chalmette Nat Cem, alongside the sprawling U S Naval Reservation.
