1892 Map of Chef Menteur

USGS Topo · Published 1928

About this map

Chef Menteur Prairie and the sprawling marshlands east of New Orleans dominate this late 19th-century landscape, illustrating the critical transportation corridors that linked the city to the Gulf coast. The area is defined by its low-lying coastal geography, where the Chef Menteur Pass provides a vital channel between Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne. Small settlements like Micheaud and Lee are situated along the tracks of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, which cuts across the marsh alongside the Bayou Sauvage.
