1967 Map of La Branche

About this map

Lake Pontchartrain dominates the northern half of this Louisiana landscape, where the shifting wetlands of the Mississippi River delta meet the expanding industrial and residential infrastructure of the late 1960s. The southeastern corner reveals the rapid growth of Kenner, showing a network of suburban streets such as Loyola Dr and Incarnate Word Dr emerging just north of the New Orleans International Airport (Moisant Field). This development contrasts sharply with the marshy terrain to the west, where the Bonnet Carre Floodway and the Duncan Protection Levee represent critical engineering efforts to manage the region's hydrology.
