1967 Map of Chalmette

About this map

The Mississippi River creates a massive oxbow curve at the heart of this mid-1960s survey, dictating the development of Chalmette and its neighboring riverfront settlements. Industrial sites and residential expansion are visible in the growth of Chalmette Vista and Meraux, while the Forty Arpent Canal and Back Protection Levee mark the defensive boundaries against the surrounding marshland. The map provides a detailed view of the Chalmette National Historical Park and the extensive Spoil Area north of the Mississippi River - Gulf Outlet Canal.
