About this map

The Mississippi River dominates this mid-1930s landscape, flanked by a dense network of river-town settlements and intricate drainage systems. On the west bank, communities like Luling and Lone Star are situated on the natural levee, while the east bank features Destrehan, St Rose, and the edge of Kenner. This period captures the region's transition into a modern transport corridor, showing the newly established Airline Highway and three major rail lines—the Illinois Central Railroad, Texas and Pacific Railroad, and Southern Pacific Railroad—parallel to the river.
