1951 Map of Little Woods

About this map

Lake Pontchartrain defines the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, where the shoreline is marked by the developed community of Little Woods and the recreational site at Lincoln Beach. The transition from the lakefront to the inland wetlands is navigated by a rigid system of drainage canals, including the Little Woods Canal, Jahncke Canal, and Citrus Canal, reflecting the mid-century engineering efforts to manage the low-lying terrain of Orleans Parish. South of the residential strips along Hayne Boulevard, the land gives way to an intricate network of waterways and marshlands.
