1967 Map of Spanish Fort

About this map

Lake Pontchartrain dominates the northern half of this mid-1960s landscape, bisected by the massive Lake Pontchartrain Causeway and its Small Craft Passage. To the south, the rapidly expanding suburbs of Kenner and Metairie meet the city limits of New Orleans, showing a dense grid of residential developments like Bissonet Plaza, Willowdale, and Bonnabel Place. This era is defined by the heavy engineering of the shoreline, where a series of drainage canals, including Duncan Canal and Suburban Canal, service the low-lying terrain protected by levees.
