2015 Map of Spanish Fort

About this map

The northern edge of New Orleans meets the vast expanse of Lake Pontchartrain in this detailed 2015 layout, documenting a landscape defined by its complex water management and suburban density. From the historic Spanish Fort area to the mid-century developments of Gentilly Terrace and Gentilly Woods, the map illustrates a city structured around its drainage and navigation infrastructure, including the 17th Street Canal and the massive Inner Harbor Navigation Canal. Education and recreation anchor the lakefront, with the Univ of New Orleans and Southern Univ at New Orleans campuses situated near the former Pontchartrain Beach. This map is particularly valuable for its recording of institutional landmarks like the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and the Ahavas Sholem Cem, offering a clear view of the residential and commercial fabric of neighborhoods such as Lakeview and Milneburg in the 21st century.
