About this map

Lake Pontchartrain defines the northern edge of this 1930s survey, showing the evolving waterfront of New Orleans before mid-century expansion. The map details the historic Milneburg area and the adjacent Pontchartrain Beach amusement district, which served as a focal point for local recreation. Further west, the site of the Old Spanish Fort sits near the mouth of St John Bayou, marking a location of significant colonial and early American military history.
