1951 Map of Chef Menteur

About this map

Chef Menteur Pass serves as a critical narrow waterway connecting Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne in this mid-century survey. The landscape is dominated by tidal marshes and intricate hydrologic networks, where the Intracoastal Waterway cuts a straight path across the winding routes of Bayou Sauvage and Bayou Gentilly. Near the small settlement of Chef Menteur, the Fort Macomb (Ruins) stand as a silent guardian of the pass, illustrating the area's long-standing strategic importance for coastal defense.
