2012 Map of Spanish Fort

About this map

Spanish Fort and the lakeside neighborhoods of New Orleans anchor this 2012 survey along the southern shore of Lake Pontchartrain. The landscape is defined by its sophisticated water management system, including the 17th Street Canal, Orleans Avenue Canal, and the London Avenue Outfall Canal, which cut through established residential areas like Lakeview and Gentilly Terrace. The map captures the university corridor, featuring the University of New Orleans and Southern University New Orleans, alongside recreational spaces such as Pontchartrain Beach and the City Park Golf Course. Toward the east, the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal separates the mainland from Seabrook and the busy Lakefront Airport, illustrating the critical intersection of maritime, aviation, and urban infrastructure. Genealogists may find value in the specific placement of the Hebrew Rest Cem and Ahavas Sholem Cem located near Gentilly Ridge.
