1967 Map of Hahnville

About this map

The Mississippi River creates a massive northern arc across this Louisiana landscape, defining the industrial and agricultural patterns of St. Charles Parish. Heavy industry is concentrated along the riverbanks, including a refinery and waterworks near Good Hope and New Sarpy, while the Bonnet Carre Floodway stands ready to manage the river's power. South of the riverside settlements like Hahnville and Destrehan, the terrain transitions into a complex network of canals and marshland, featuring Cypress Island and Bird Island.
