The Michoud Assembly Facility anchors this survey of eastern New Orleans, a landscape defined by its precarious relationship with water. Reclaimed marshlands are organized by an extensive network of drainage channels, including the Morrison Canal, Jahncke Canal, and Gannon Canal, which protect residential neighborhoods like Ferncrest and Tamaron. The industrial character of the region is evident in the convergence of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet Canal, critical arteries for the city's maritime commerce.
