1966 Map of New Orleans East
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The Mississippi River winds through the heart of the city, defining the dense urban grid of the Vieux Carre and the surrounding neighborhoods during the mid-1960s. This survey illustrates the deep integration of water and industry, showing the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal and the Turning Basin connecting the river to the Intracoastal Waterway. The landscape is marked by historic burial grounds including Metairie Cemetery and Lafayette Cem, while the cultural footprint of the era is preserved through landmarks like the Fairgrounds Racetrack and the Sugar Bowl stadium. On the west bank, communities like McDonoghville and Gretna are linked to the city center by the Greater New Orleans Bridge, reflecting the post-war expansion and transit infrastructure that shaped the modern metropolitan area.
