1875 Map + Text of New Orleans Flood Control

Item Details

Description

Post Civil War
1875 Map & Description of Flood Control In New Orleans
1875-Dated, Map and Description titled, "The Topography and Drainage of New Orleans" by Thomas S. Hardee, City Surveyor, Choice Extremely Fine.
This is an 1875 Map and description of the existing and proposed system for flood control in New Orleans. The system includes drainage machines at several key locations and a 50 foot wide levee, build 4 to 6 feet above the highest known water level. This report notes that the Mississippi River rises and falls as much as 15 feet with the tides. City Surveyor T.S. Hardee concludes this report by saying: "The future of New Orleans, as a great and populous city, depends more upon the successful solution of this drainage problem than almost any other question connected with her welfare." The recent hurricane and flooding of New Orleans certainly confirms Hardee's conclusions. This 19.75" x 14.5" report includes a 7.5" x 7" map, and has a blank reverse. This report is in excellent condition with a small chip in the upper right edge. A great account of New Orleans published just 10 years after the Civil War, and of great current interest.
