1967 Map of Chef Menteur

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Chef Menteur Pass serves as the central artery of this coastal landscape, connecting Lake Pontchartrain with Lake Borgne. The 1967 survey captures a critical transition point for the New Orleans area, where the historic Fort Macomb (Ruins) stands near the modern developments of Venetian Isles. This region is defined by a dense network of marshland waterways, including Bayou Sauvage and Bayou Gentilly, which are intersected by the heavy infrastructure of the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the Intracoastal Waterway. The map also illustrates the protective Levee systems and industrial markers like the Pumping Station and Sewage Disposal Pond, reflecting the engineering required to manage the wetlands. From Shell Point to the Orleans Parish St Bernard Parish boundary, the sheet documents a landscape of intricate bayous and essential transportation corridors.
