1967 Map of Luling

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Mississippi River creates a massive, winding divide across this landscape, separating the communities of Destrehan, St Rose, and Kenner on the east bank from Luling and Ama on the west. This river-centric economy is defined by heavy rail infrastructure, including the Illinois Central Gulf and Texas and Pacific lines, and industrial markers like the Good Hope Oil and Gas Field. A notable topographic feature is the Davis Crevasse (1884), a historical breach in the levee system that left its mark on the swampy terrain near Davis Pond. Urban development is visible in the residential grids of Mimosa Park and the expansive grounds of the New Orleans International Airport (Moisant Field). Local history is further preserved through the mapping of St Charles Cem, Mt Zion Ch, and the Pecan Grove Sch, documenting the social fabric of St Charles Parish during this era of growth.
