About this map

The Northshore community of Mandeville serves as the centerpiece of this coastal survey, showing the town's extent along the northern rim of Lake Pontchartrain. The urban footprint is anchored by educational and civic institutions like Our Lady of the Lake Sch and Rosenwald Sch, while the landmark Lake Pontchartrain Causeway (Toll) stretches south across the water. To the west, the residential pocket of Lewisburg borders Bayou Chinchuba, illustrating the local dependence on both road and water access.

Eastward, the landscape shifts into preserved wetlands and institutional grounds. The expansive Fontainebleau State Park and the Southeast Louisiana State Hospital dominate the shoreline, leading into the dense hydrological networks of Bayou Castine and Bayou Cane. These areas transition into the Big Branch Marsh National Wildlife Refuge, highlighting the delicate balance between the growing residential corridors and the protected Louisiana marshes at the turn of the millennium.
