About this map

Chalmette and its neighboring riverfront settlements define the cultural and industrial landscape along the Mississippi River in the late 1960s. This survey captures a period of suburban transition, shown in the residential grids of St Claude Heights and Chalmette Vista set against the sprawling U S Coast Guard Reservation. The map details the transition from the dense habitation near the river to the vast wetlands of the Big Mar and Lake Borgne, where a complex system of canals and bayous, including the massive Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, facilitates maritime commerce.
