About this map

National Aeronautics and Space Administration facilities dominate the southeastern landscape of this New Orleans survey, highlighting the era's significant aerospace footprint in the region. The map captures a complex environment of expanding residential development and heavy infrastructure, where suburban blocks organized around Morrison Blvd and Dwyer Blvd push against the wetlands of the Lake Pontchartrain shoreline.

Evidence of community life and local history is found in the distribution of religious and civic sites, including St Maria Goretti Ch and Resthaven Memorial Park (Cemetery). The industrial and transport importance of the area is underscored by the L & N RR and the Gulf Outlet Canal, which alongside the Intracoastal Waterway, define the local economy. Revision layers in purple reflect the rapid growth around Village de L'Est and the development of the Lake Michoud vicinity.
