1998 Map of Rigolets

About this map

Fort Pike State Historic Site stands as a sentinel at the narrow pass between Lake Pontchartrain and Lake St Catherine, guarding the water route toward New Orleans. This intricate coastal landscape is defined by the convergence of major waterways, including the Rigoletts and the Pearl River State Wildlife Management Area. The map reveals a delicate balance of land and water, where named high ground like Apple Pie Ridge provides a foothold for development like White Kitchen and Ridge Memorial Park amidst the surrounding marsh.
