1965 Map of New Orleans West

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Mississippi River creates a massive, sweeping curve that defines this mid-1960s suburban and industrial landscape west of New Orleans. Rapid residential expansion is evident in the dense street grids of Kenner, Metairie, and Harahan, where numerous educational and religious centers like St Catherine Sch and East Jefferson High Sch served the growing population. The transportation network is remarkably complex, anchored by the Huey P Long Bridge and a dense web of rail lines including the Illinois Central Railroad and Southern Pacific.
