The coastal wetlands and industrial corridors of eastern New Orleans are defined here by a dense network of canals and protected marshlands. Bordering Lake Pontchartrain, the landscape transitions from the residential street grids of Village de L'Est and Little Woods into the vast expanse of the Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge. The map illustrates the complex water management system of the region, featuring numerous drainage and transport channels such as the Little Woods Canal, Dwyer Canal, and the Michoud Canal.
