1992 Map of Laplace
USGS Topo · Published 1992About this map
The Bonnet Carre Floodway dominates this river-parish landscape, a massive structural feat of engineering designed to divert the Mississippi River into Lake Pontchartrain during flood stages. In the early 1990s, the surrounding communities of Laplace, Norco, and Montz are shown at a point of significant suburban expansion, with newer residential developments like Carrollwood and Riverland Heights appearing alongside established industrial zones. The economic engine of the era is clearly visible through the extensive Laplace Oil and Gas Field and Norco Oil and Gas Field. Local history is preserved in the location of the Montz Cem and numerous parochial institutions such as the Ascension of Our Lord Ch and St Joan of Arc Sch. Transportation networks, including the Illinois Central Gulf RR and the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, define the movement between New Orleans and the river parishes.
