About this map

Lake Pontchartrain dominates the northern half of this coastal landscape, where the southern shore transitions into the marshy reaches of St. Charles and Jefferson Parishes. The era's transportation and industrial footprint is heavy here, defined by the Illinois Central Gulf railroad cutting diagonally toward the growing suburban grid of Kenner. In this period, Kenner shows significant residential expansion north toward the Sea Wall, with street names like Loyola State and Tulane appearing near the New Orleans International Airport (Moisant Field). To the west, the landscape remains more industrial and natural, featuring the Oil and Gas Field near Good Hope and the intricate drainage network of Cross Bayou Canal. The Bonnet Carre Floodway stands as a massive civil engineering feature, protecting the region alongside smaller settlements like La Branche and Trepagnier.
