About this map

Lake Borgne dominates this coastal survey, where the marshlands of St. Bernard Parish meet the open water. The map documents a critical period of industrial and navigational infrastructure, notably the Mississippi River - Gulf Outlet Canal carving through the southern marsh. This deep-water shipping channel, bordered by a substantial Spoil Area, fundamentally altered the local hydrology and landscape during the mid-20th century.
