1965 Map of New Orleans West

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Mississippi River winds dramatically through this late-1970s update, creating the prominent geographic anchors of Twelvemile Point and Ninemile Point. The urban expansion of Metairie, Kenner, and Harahan is clearly visible in purple tint, reflecting the post-war growth of Jefferson Parish. Industrial and transportation networks dominate the riverbanks, where the Huey P Long Bridge serves as a vital artery connecting the north bank to Bridge City and Avondale.
