1891 Map of Spanish Fort

USGS Topo · Published 1917

About this map

Lake Pontchartrain dominates this late-19th-century coastal survey, framing the northern developed edge of New Orleans as it stood before the major drainage projects of the early 20th century. The map illustrates a series of distinct lakeside settlements and recreational hubs, including Spanish Fort, Milneburg, and West End, each serving as a portal between the city and the lake. Several structures marked Light House anchor the shoreline, providing essential navigation for the maritime traffic of the era.
