1942 Map of St. Bernard

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The Mississippi River winds through the heart of the delta just before the mid-century, framing the deep historical layers of St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parishes. Along the river's English Turn Bend, traditional settlements like Braithwaite and Stella sit adjacent to the heavy infrastructure of the Sea Train Terminal. The map captures a landscape defined by water management and industry, from the Intra-Coastal Waterway in the north to the Kenilworth Oil Field and the Lake Lery Oil Derrick further south.
