Lake Pontchartrain defines the northern edge of this New Orleans landscape, where the urban grid of Gentilly Ridge and Little Woods meets the expansive wetlands of the Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge. The map illustrates a complex hydraulic environment carved by industrial and navigational channels, including the Intracoastal Waterway and the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet Canal. This infrastructure supports the industrial corridor near Michoud, a site deeply connected to the regional maritime economy and aerospace history.
