1951 Map of Spanish Fort

About this map

The northern edge of New Orleans meets the expansive waters of Lake Pontchartrain in this mid-century portrait of a changing lakefront. Established residential grids and institutions like the Milne Home for Boys and the Veterans Administration Hospital dominate the landscape south of the shore, while the coastline itself is defined by recreational and military activity. At Pontchartrain Beach and the Southern Yacht Club, the city's leisure culture is on full display, contrasted by the strategic infrastructure of Camp Leroy Johnson and the U S Naval Air Sta.
