New Orleans LA Rand McNally
New Orleans in Louisiana on an indexed street plan from Rand McNally in their extensive range of maps covering cities in the United States, with an enlargement showing in greater detail downtown New Orleans including the French Quarter. Separate panels extend the coverage to include Laplace and vicinity and Poydras, plus Slidell across Lake Pontchartrain. An overview orientation map indicates which areas covered by the street plans. Other communities covered by this map include Gretna, Harahan, Kenner and Westwego.NEW STREET PLAN CARTOGRAPHY FROM RAND McNALLY: Rand McNally are currently changing the cartography of their street plans to a more ‘European” style. In many titles streets are now shown by parallel lines, providing a much clearer, easier to read presentation. Better use of colouring indicates different types of land use and/or institutions (parks, shopping centres, academic institutions, etc) and, in most titles, different administrative units. More streets are annotated with block numbers. Some new editions still retain the traditional American presentation of streets by a single line, but with more prominent marking for various institutions, facilities and places of interest. Our cartography sample indicates which style is used in this title.COVERAGE: Rand McNally street plans cover cities with their outer suburbs, prominently highlighting principal traffic arteries and connecting main streets. Railway and subway stations are marked.
