1983 Map of New Orleans
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
The Mississippi River anchors this regional perspective, winding through the industrial and residential corridors of New Orleans, Metairie, and Kenner before turning south toward the gulf. The landscape is defined by the complex transition from high ground to wetlands, where the Catahoula Ridge and Johnson Ridge offer footing for settlements amidst a vast network of water bodies like Lake Salvador and Lac des Allemands. This era shows the established rail infrastructure of the Southern Pacific and Texas & Pacific railroads, which facilitated the movement of goods through the river parishes.
