1893 Map of Shell Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1902

About this map

St Bernard Parish's coastal wetlands and early rail connections are documented in this late nineteenth-century survey, conducted when the Shell Beach Railroad provided a direct link between the interior and the shores of Lake Borgne. The settlement of Shell Beach sits at the terminus of this rail line, while nearby Yscloskey and Florissant mark the path of development following the natural levees of the region's complex water systems.
