About this map

Lake Pontchartrain defines the northern reaches of this 1990s landscape, where the lakefront is heavily engineered with a Seawall, Floodwall, and Floodgates. The southern shore is a dense grid of New Orleans neighborhoods, including the historic Spanish Fort and Seabrook districts. Extensive green space is preserved at City Park, while the eastern side is dominated by the Lakefront Airport and the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal.

Educational and religious institutions are prominent throughout the city grid, from the University of New Orleans and Southern University near the water to the Sisters of the Holy Family Motherhouse and New Orleans Theological Seminary further inland. The map documents significant local infrastructure like the Orleans Outfall Canal and the Bayou St John, alongside numerous parochial schools such as St Marys Academy and Immaculate Heart of Mary Sch.
