1951 Map of North Shore

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Lake Pontchartrain dominates this coastal landscape, where the northern wetlands of St. Tammany Parish meet the open water. The map documents a transition in coastal engineering during the early 1950s, shown by an extensive system of numbered levees and canals, such as Canal No 1 and Canal No 8, which were designed to manage the marshy terrain. The Pontchartrain Bridge and the Southern railroad line provide a vital link across the water, landing at the small settlement of North Shore.
