About this map

Martello Castle stands as a landmark overlooking the waters of Lake Borgne, marking a coastal landscape defined by its intricate network of bayous and industrial waterways during the late 1960s. The settlement at Shell Beach is positioned near the junction of numerous natural and man-made channels, including the Mississippi River - Gulf Outlet Canal and the Lake Borgne Canal. This era shows a marshy environment heavily modified by human engineering, characterized by an extensive Spoil Area and a long Levee system protecting the interior parishes.
