1965 Map of New Orleans West

About this map

The Mississippi River creates a massive, sinuous bend through this landscape, defining the development of East Bank and West Bank communities in the mid-1960s. Major infrastructure like the Huey P Long Bridge and a dense network of railroads including the Illinois Central and Texas and Pacific support the industrial and residential corridors of Kenner, Harahan, and Westwego. Urban expansion is evident in the purple-shaded revisions of Metairie, where numerous educational institutions like Rummel High Sch and East Jefferson High Sch serve growing neighborhoods.
