This is a map of the population of New Orleans in 1878. Almost
nothing would have been flooded if we had not expanded or grown since then.
Here's a bigger map of the same thing. |

Slidell bridge, Hwy 11 bridge, and rail road bridge after

after the storm. These bridges are mainly put together like blocks. One
piece just rests on another. |
