About this map

New Orleans reaches the southern shores of Lake Pontchartrain in this mid-1930s survey, illustrating a shoreline defined by leisure, maritime industry, and significant drainage engineering. The map highlights the sprawling City Park and the lakefront recreational hub featuring the Pontchartrain Beach Amusement Park and the Southern Yacht Club at West End. These landmarks reflect the city's northward expansion toward the lake, supported by an intricate network of canals including the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal and Metairie Relief Outfall Canal.
