1932 Map of New Orleans NW
USGS Topo · Published 1932About this map
Mississippi River meanders define the industrial and residential development of Jefferson Parish in the early 1930s. A notable engineering milestone is visible at the center of the sheet, where the Huey P Long Bridge (Building) is shown under construction, representing a major advancement for both the Southern Pacific and Texas and Pacific railroads. North of the river, burgeoning suburbs like Metairie and Bonnabel Place sit adjacent to extensive drainage works, including Canal No 6 and Suburban Canal. This era captures the transition from rural estates to organized communities, with specialized infrastructure like the S & W Board Water Purification Plant and Wedell Williams Airport appearing alongside established settlements like Kenner and Westwego. The southern reaches show the intricate wetlands surrounding Churchill Farms and Bayou Segnette, still largely dominated by a network of drainage canals.
