The Mississippi River winds through this 1969 survey, bordered by essential mid-century infrastructure like the Kenner Revetment and the sprawling Bonnet Carre Floodway. This corridor in St. Charles Parish shows a complex landscape of traditional riverfront settlements like Hahnville and Destrehan alongside a burgeoning petroleum economy. Extensive extraction sites, including the Boutte Oil and Gas Field and Paradis Oil and Gas Field, dominate the transition from the levee lands to the southern marshes.
