2024 Map of Indian Beach

About this map

Lake Pontchartrain dominates the northern half of this coastal landscape, meeting the developed shoreline of Jefferson Parish where the residential grids of Kenner and Metairie converge. The southern portion of the map reveals a dense suburban network defined by named neighborhoods such as Willowdale, Bissonet Plaza, and Bonnabel Place. This layout highlights the transition from larger commercial corridors like Veterans Memorial Blvd to established residential communities near the water. Drainage infrastructure is central to the land's utility here, evidenced by the Elmwood Canal and Carroll Canal cutting through the urban fabric. Near the lake's edge, smaller historic enclaves like Indian Beach and Bucktown sit at the terminus of major thoroughfares like Harrison Ave and W Esplanade Ave, representing the long-standing human footprint on this alluvial terrain.
