1936 Map of Chef Menteur

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Corporate Limits of the City of New Orleans stretch across the brackish expanse of Lake Pontchartrain in this mid-1930s survey. The landscape is a complex network of wetlands and waterways, where Bayou Sauvage and Bayou Gentilly wind through the marsh toward Lake Borgne. Coastal defense and transportation infrastructure define the corridor between the lakes, anchored by the brick remains of Fort Macomb guarding the strategic Chef Menteur Pass.
