1967 Map of Chalmette

About this map

The Mississippi River defines the heart of this landscape, its banks lined with the industrial and residential growth of St. Bernard Parish. Suburban developments like Chalmette, Meraux, and St Claude Heights sit behind the protection of the levee, while a vast Spoil Area to the northeast marks the path of the Mississippi River - Gulf Outlet Canal. This canal system, including the Gulf Outlet Canal and Intracoastal Waterway, reflects the mid-century transformation of the regional hydrology for shipping and drainage.
