2012 Map of Luling

About this map

The Mississippi River carves a sharp path through this landscape, dividing riverfront communities like Destrehan and Saint Rose from southern settlements including Luling and Ama. This 2012 survey illustrates the heavy industrial and transportation infrastructure of the corridor, from the North Saint Rose Gas Field to the massive footprint of the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by a dense network of man-made waterways such as the Sellers Canal, Dusuaua Canal, and Garland Canal. Local history is anchored by landmarks like the Saint Charles Cemetery and the Davis Crevasse, a site of significant flooding history near Lone Star. The map also captures the scale of the Hale Boggs Memorial Bridge, which serves as a vital artery connecting these historic river parishes while the landscape transitions into the wetlands of Bayou des Saules and Bayou Bois Piquant.
