About this map

Lake Pontchartrain dominates this mid-century aquatic landscape, defined by the Indefinite Boundary between St Tammany Parish and Orleans Parish. This 1967 survey captures the intersection of industrial development and coastal geography along the lake's southern reaches. The Big Point Gas Field is situated in the open waters, marking the expansion of energy infrastructure into the lake. In the southeastern corner, the emerging transportation network is visible where Interstate 10 cuts through the marshland near South Point. This small landmass provides a detailed look at the local hydrology, including the Southern Canal and the Irish Bayou Lagoon. Waterways like Little Woods Bayou and Bayou Castiglione wind through the wetlands, illustrating the transition from the deep lake to the complex Louisiana bayou system during a period of significant regional growth.
