Summary

Eastern New Orleans as seen from space. Cropped from NASA Landsat image.

Industrial Canal runs vertically (roughly north-south) at bottom left. At top left is Lake Pontchartrain. Lakefront Airport is peninsula at left. Intracoastal Waterway stretches horizontally near bottom left, with the Intracoastal continuing to right and the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MR-GO) extending towards the bottom from "Y" branch near bottom center. Purple-colored area to right of deep green is part of Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge.

Chef Menteur Pass cuts through the center, to the right of wildlife refuge. At top right is the Rigolets pass. Both intersect with the obviously man-made Intracoastal. Lake Borgne is at bottom right.
