1952 Map of La Branche

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Lake Pontchartrain dominates the northern horizon of this coastal landscape, where the marshlands of St. Charles and Jefferson Parishes meet the water. The settlement at La Branche sits at the edge of the Bonnet Carre Floodway, a critical infrastructure piece for managing the Mississippi's flow. This 1952 revision shows the industrial and transit corridors cutting through the wetlands, most notably the Illinois Central railroad and a significant Oil Field to the southwest.
