About this map

Lake Pontchartrain dominates this mid-1930s coastal survey, illustrating the watery boundary between St Tammany Parish and Orleans Parish. The landscape is largely defined by the shoreline of the lake and the marshy reaches of Irish Lagoon, where the land meets the water at precise points like Pt Platte and Pt au Chien. This edition is particularly notable for incorporating early aerial photography compiled by the Army Air Corps to map the intricate drainage and shoreline features that were difficult to survey from the ground.
