The National Aeronautics and Space Administration at Michoud Station dominates the industrial landscape of eastern New Orleans in the late 1960s. This survey records a critical era of aerospace development and suburban expansion, with neighborhood growth visible at Village de L'Est and Little Woods. The map details the complex hydraulic environment where Lake Pontchartrain meets Lake Borgne via the Chef Menteur Pass, a region defined by extensive marshes and engineered waterways like the Intracostal Waterway and the Miss R-Gulf Outlet.
