1992 Map of Hahnville

About this map

The Mississippi River creates a dramatic curve at the center of this study, anchoring the industrial and residential corridors of Hahnville and Destrehan. In the early 1990s, the landscape reflects a complex transition from traditional river-bound settlements like Killona and Taft to heavy industry, evidenced by numerous Industrial Waste Ponds and the sprawling Oil and Gas Field to the west. South of the river, the terrain shifts abruptly into the wetlands of Cypress Island and Summers Island, where a network of drainage infrastructure including the Hymel Canal and Paradis Canal defines the boundary between habitable land and the swamp. For those researching local heritage, the map identifies numerous community landmarks such as Holy Rosary Cem and Hahnville High Sch, alongside the unique Crawfish Farm near the southern margin.
