1938 Map of La Branche
USGS Topo · Published 1938About this map
Lake Pontchartrain dominates the northern horizon of this 1930s coastal survey, revealing a landscape defined by the intricate management of water and transit in St. Charles and Jefferson Parishes. The settlement of Labranche serves as a focal point where the Illinois Central railroad cuts through the wetlands. This era of mapping highlights the massive infrastructure projects of the time, specifically the Bonnet Carre Floodway and the West Boundary of Kenner Protection Levee, which were engineered to protect the region from the unpredictable rise of the Mississippi River.
