About this map

Lake Pontchartrain defines the northwestern edge of this 1930s coastal landscape, where the rising infrastructure of Orleans Parish meets the marshy expanses of the Louisiana coast. The settlement at Little Woods and the nearby Edge Lake community are shown during a period of transition, linked to the city by the Southern Railway and the development of Hayne Boulevard. A complex network of drainage projects is evident through the numerous artificial waterways including the Janncke Canal, Farrar Canal, and the Little Woods Drainage Canal, which segment the low-lying terrain into organized tracts.
