The map is divided into sections labeled A through I vertically and 1 through 7 horizontally for easy reference. Key areas such as the French Quarter can be inferred from the tightly packed grid in the curve of the river. The northern part of the map shows Lake Pontchartrain, highlighting the city's position between the lake and the river.
