1967 Map of Little Woods

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The edge of Lake Pontchartrain meets the burgeoning eastern suburbs of New Orleans in this late 1960s survey. The landscape is defined by the transition from coastal wetlands and lagoons, such as Little Woods Lagoon and Rogers Lagoon, into a grid of modern residential development and heavy industry. A significant industrial footprint is visible at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration facility near Michoud, illustrating the area's role in the national space program of the era. Settlement patterns follow the Southern Railway and Hayne Blvd along the lakefront at Little Woods, while neighborhood life is anchored by institutions like Abramson High Sch, St Maria Goretti Ch, and Resthaven Memorial Park. The southern portion of the map is dominated by a complex network of waterways, including the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf Outlet, supporting the region's maritime economy.
