2024 Map of Spanish Fort

About this map

Lake Pontchartrain defines the northern edge of this urban survey, where the southern shore is marked by a dense grid of residential and institutional developments in northern New Orleans. The area shows a specialized landscape of educational and religious centers, featuring the University of New Orleans and the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Historically significant neighborhoods such as Milneburg and Spanish Fort transition from the shoreline into the interior, while the eastern edge is dominated by the industrial and transport infrastructure of the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal and Lakefront Airport. Toward the south, the terrain follows the Gentilly Ridge, where local history is anchored by a cluster of dedicated spaces including Beth Israel Cem, Sholem Cem, and Hebrew Rest Cem. This modern record reveals how the city’s residential expansion has integrated with natural features like Scout Island and Demourelles Island.
