2018 Map of Hahnville

About this map

The Mississippi River carves a dramatic arc through this portion of Saint Charles Parish, defining the industrial and residential corridors of Hahnville and Norco. The landscape is a study in water management, where numerous artificial waterways like the Eighty Arpent Canal, Hymel Canal, and Vial Canal drain the low-lying wetlands. Historical continuity is evident in the cluster of sacred sites along the river road, including the Saint Charles Borromeo Cem and Holy Rosary Cem, which serve as anchors for the local communities of Destrehan and Taft. Northward, the Bonnet Carre Floodway stands as a massive piece of infrastructure designed to protect New Orleans from river surges. South of the main river settlements, the terrain transitions into a labyrinth of bayous and islands, such as Cypress Island and Johnson Island, illustrating the complex deltaic environment that borders Boutte and Ellington.
