1935 Map of Laplace
USGS Topo · Published 1935About this map
The Bonnet Carre Spillway dominates this mid-1930s landscape, illustrating the massive flood-control infrastructure designed to protect New Orleans by diverting Mississippi River waters into Lake Pontchartrain. The map captures a transition from traditional riverfront agrarian life to modern industrial and transportation networks. Older agrarian patterns are evident at Glen Dale Plantation and Trinity Plantation, while newer industrial hubs like Norco and Sellers emerge along the rail lines.
