1968 Map of Rigolets

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Fort Pike State Monument stands as a sentinel at the narrow pass between Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne, marking a landscape defined by intricate waterways and marshlands during the late 1960s. This survey illustrates the complex transition between the Pearl River delta and the coastal estuaries of the Rigolets. The settlement of White Kitchen and the nearby Ridge Memorial Ch sit atop Apple Pie Ridge, which provides a rare point of elevation amidst the vast expanse of the Fritchie Marsh. The map details the vital transportation corridor formed by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and U.S. Route 90, crossing through Honey Island and over the Pike Bridge. For local historians, the inclusion of named locations like Grand Cop Point and Tanner Mill Pond offers a specific view of this coastal environment before modern development further altered the Louisiana shoreline.
