1967 Map of Chalmette
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Chalmette and its surrounding communities are captured in the late 1960s as industrial development and suburban growth press against the marshy wetlands of St. Bernard Parish. The landscape is defined by the sweeping curves of the Mississippi River, where large refineries sit adjacent to historic landmarks like the Chalmette National Historical Park. Evidence of mid-century expansion is clear in residential subdivisions such as St Claude Heights and Chalmette Vista, while the Forty Arpent Levee remains a critical boundary between the inhabited riverfront and the vast Spoil Area of the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet Canal. Cultural and educational institutions are well-established, including the Our Lady of Holy Cross College and Tulane University Research Laboratories, alongside local landmarks like the St Bernard Memorial Gardens and the Southern Railway corridor.
