1967 Map of Hahnville

About this map

Hahnville and the surrounding riverfront settlements of St. Charles Parish define this landscape along the sweeping bends of the Mississippi River. The transition from the industrial corridor near Norco and Good Hope to the deep wetlands of the south is marked by an extensive network of drainage channels, including the Eighty Arpent Canal and Vial Canal. This intricate system reflects the constant effort to manage the water levels between the high Levee and the backswamps where Cypress Island and Bird Island rise from the marshy terrain.
