The 1759 Plan of New Orleans, published by Thomas Jefferys, is based on Pierre Le Blond de La Tour's 1720 plan, and includes features such as levees, gutters, and footbridges for flood control, as drawn by Jacque Nicolas Bellin in his 1744 plan. The plan is accompanied by two insets depicting the east mouth of the Mississippi and its course from Bayagoulas to the Sea. The city plan illustrates various structures, including buildings, gardens, lots, magazines, and vegetated areas.

The “Plan showing the boundaries of the great Conflagration of New Orleans on the 21st of March, 1788” is a historical map that illustrates the extent of the devastating fire that swept through New Orleans. Created in the late 1800s, this facsimile map highlights the settled parts of the town with darker shading and indicates where the fire started and which buildings escaped the blaze. The map provides valuable insights into the urban layout of New Orleans at the time and the impact of the fire on the city’s development.

The “La Nouvelle Orleans en 1728,” featured in the 1886 “Report on the Social Statistics of Cities” compiled by George E. Waring, Jr., is a detailed map of New Orleans from the French colonial period. This map highlights the early layout of the city, including streets, buildings, and significant landmarks.

The “Plan of the City and Environs of New Orleans” from 1816, surveyed by B. Lafon, is a historically significant map that provides a detailed view of New Orleans during the early 19th century. This map meticulously outlines the city’s streets, neighborhoods, and key landmarks, offering a comprehensive snapshot of its urban development at the time. Notably, it includes the French Quarter, which remains a cultural and historical hub of the city today. The map also highlights the surrounding areas, including plantations and rural lands, reflecting the agricultural landscape that was integral to the region’s economy.B. Lafon’s survey work is particularly valuable for understanding the city’s growth and planning during a period of significant change and expansion. The map’s inclusion in the 1887 Government Map of New Orleans underscores its continued relevance and importance in historical studies. Additionally, the map provides insights into the city’s infrastructure, such as canals and levees, which were crucial for managing the Mississippi River’s floodwaters. Overall, this map is a vital resource for historians, urban planners, and anyone interested in the rich history of New Orleans.

Published by Benjamin Norman in 1845, this plan was based on the survey done by civil engineer Henry Moellhausen and was engraved by Shields & Hammond of New Orleans. It illustrates municipality boundaries, ward lines, and fire limits, with major buildings named and identified by color. The map also references street names, block numbers, canals, railways, public squares, cemeteries, and key buildings with a list at the bottom of the map. Lafayette is shown in the west, with Macdonogh and Algiers shown south of the River.
