1967 Map of North Shore

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Lake Pontchartrain dominates this coastal landscape, where the marshy wetlands of St. Tammany Parish meet the waters of the sound. The mid-1960s environment is defined by its transition from natural bayous to early suburban and recreational development, seen in the expansion of Slidell and the lakeside communities of North Shore Beach and Howze Beach. The map illustrates a complex network of man-made improvements including a Levee system and multiple drainage channels such as Canal No 6 and Canal No 7 designed to manage the low-lying terrain. Local spiritual and community life is anchored by the North Shore Chapel and Ft Pike Chapel, while the Fields Cem provides a point of genealogical interest. Transport and navigation are highlighted by the Large Craft Passage cutting across the open water, connecting Pointe aux Herbes with the northern coastline near Big Point.
