2018 Map of New Orleans West

About this map

The Mississippi River carves a massive S-curve through this landscape, defining the industrial and residential corridors of Jefferson and Orleans Parishes. On the east bank, the established neighborhoods of Kenner, Metairie, and Jefferson are dense with suburban infrastructure, featuring long-standing landmarks like the Garden of Memories Cem and Delgado Community College Jefferson. The river's influence is evident at Carrollton Bend and Ninemile Point, where the Huey P Long Bridge provides a vital link to the west bank communities of Avondale and Westwego. Significant transportation arteries including Airline Dr and the Westbank Expy highlight the region's role as a major transit hub. Further south, the terrain shifts into the marshy reaches of Bayou Segnette and Whisky Bayou, showcasing the proximity of urban development to the coastal wetlands that characterize southern Louisiana's geography.
