1938 Map of Luling
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
The Mississippi River creates a massive S-curve through the heart of St. Charles Parish in this mid-1930s survey, dictating the development of the riverfront communities on both banks. On the west bank, small settlements like Luling, Lone Star, and Davis follow the curve of the levee, while the east bank shows the growing footprints of Destrehan, St Rose, and Kenner. A notable geographic scar is visible at the Davis Crevasse of 1884, marking a historic breach in the riverbank that reshaped the local drainage.
