1967 Map of Chalmette

About this map

The Mississippi River bends sharply around the industrial and residential heart of St. Bernard Parish, anchoring a landscape shaped by historical defense and modern commerce. Along the river's edge, the Chalmette National Historical Park preserves a key site of American military history, while the surrounding communities of Chalmette, Meraux, and Violet reflect the mid-century expansion of the New Orleans suburbs. The infrastructure of the era is evident in the dense network of drainage and transport canals, including the Forty Arpent Canal and the massive Mississippi River - Gulf Outlet Canal, which carved new pathways through the surrounding marshlands.
