About this map

New Orleans and the complex deltaic network of southeastern Louisiana are captured here during a period of significant mid-century industrial activity. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Mississippi River, flanked by settlements like Gretna, Harvey, and Westwego that form the core of the metropolitan area's western bank. Further south, the map reveals the intricate water systems of the bayou country, where Houma and Thibodaux serve as central hubs connected by the Intracoastal Waterway and the Southern Pacific RR.
