1939 Map of Shell Beach

About this map

The coastal marshlands of St Bernard Parish are defined here by a complex network of bayous, lagoons, and historical infrastructure shortly before the mid-century. The community of Shell Beach sits at the edge of Lake Borgne, serving as a focal point near the site of Old Ft Beauregard. This area shows the early footprints of coastal development with Alluvial City, Yscloskey, and Hopedale linked by an Old Railroad Grade that cuts through the wetlands.
