About this map

The Mississippi River defines the industrial and residential heart of this region, winding through a dense corridor of riverfront communities including St. Rose, Destrehan, and Luling. This 1983 survey illustrates the complex relationship between the urban sprawl of New Orleans and Metairie and the surrounding wetlands of south Louisiana. The landscape is dominated by vast water bodies such as Lake Salvador and Lac des Allemands, connected by a network of bayous and the Intracoastal Waterway.
