2018 Map of Luling

About this map

The Mississippi River carves a massive crescent through this landscape, defining the industrial and residential corridors of St. Rose, Destrehan, and Luling. This river-bend geography is marked by historic points of interest like the Davis Crevasse, a site of significant nineteenth-century flooding that reshaped the local terrain. The transition from the high-ground river levees to the low-lying wetlands is visible through an intricate network of drainage features such as the Walker Canal, Sellers Canal, and Lanusse Canal. Modern infrastructure dominates the northern and southern banks, anchored by the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and the sprawling Hale Boggs Memorial Bridge. Local genealogy is preserved in sites like Jefferson Memorial Gardens Cem and Saint Charles Cem, situated among established neighborhoods and the smaller settlements of Ama and South Kenner.
