About this map

The Mississippi River corridor in St. John the Baptist Parish dominates this 1967 survey, capturing the industrial and hydrological engineering required to manage the southern Louisiana landscape. The massive Bonnet Carre Floodway and Bonnet Carre Spillway stretch from the river to Lake Pontchartrain, providing a stark visual of the region's flood control infrastructure. Nearby, the site of the Hymelia Crevasse (1912) serves as a historical marker of the river's power.
