About this map

Lake Borgne dominates the northern reaches of this coastal landscape, where the marshy wetlands of St. Bernard Parish meet the Gulf. The settlement of Shell Beach sits at a critical junction near the historic site of Old Ft Beauregard, marking a point of historical defense and commerce along the shoreline. Further inland, the map shows the transition from railroad-supported infrastructure to water-based transit, particularly evident where the Old Bayou Railroad Grade terminates near Alluvial City and Yscloskey.
