1967 Map of New Orleans
USGS Topo · Published 1969About this map
The Mississippi River defines the geometry of this 1960s study, looping through the crescent of New Orleans and south toward the Gulf. The city’s dense urban grid, featuring landmarks like Tulane University, Loyola University, and the sprawling Metairie Cemetery, contrasts sharply with the expansive wetlands of Lake Cataouatche and Lake Salvador to the southwest. This era captures the industrial and military footprint of the river’s west bank, from the massive Avondale Oil Field to the U.S. Naval Air Station (Alvin Callender Field).
