1965 Map of Indian Beach
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
The southern shoreline of Lake Pontchartrain dominates this mid-1960s survey, illustrating the rapid post-war residential expansion of Jefferson Parish. Dense suburban grids define neighborhoods like Bissonet Plaza, Willowdale, and Bonnabel Place, many of which are protected by the extensive Sea Level Levee system. The map documents a community infrastructure built around schools and parish life, featuring numerous institutions such as St Philip Neri Sch, St Augustines Ch, and Archbishop Chapelle High Sch. In the eastern section, the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway strikes north across the water, while the local economy and drainage are managed through a series of numbered canals and facilities like Pumping Station No 2. This era marks the solidification of the suburban landscape between the city of Kenner and the historic lakefront at Bucktown.
