Older maps of mouth of the river

Anyone have any idea where you can buy older maps of the mouth of the river? Am wanting to put a few maps up at the camp from old to current to make a nice display and also discussion point of how much things have changed over the last 250 years. TIA

Are you a private land owner?

Some of the auction houses in New Orleans have stuff come up from time to time. I get emails showing what for Neal and New Orleans Auction Galleries are auctioning. Also some of the antique stores in New Orleans might have them.

I had a link to a whole bunch of them at one time. Let me see if I can find it.

Just went back to see it. I'll enlist those guys when I build my new house. Thanks.
I was about to call you last night. Kids wanted to go to Hilltop, but somehow we ended up at Chick fa lay on Seigen with a clown, Magic Mike the Ball Juggler, and about 100 other kids. Was awesome.

You can find some old surveys at www.glorecords.blm.gov
These are original surveys from the 1800s. Somebody on here owns or works for a print shop and could print them for you.

Was there last night as well. Had free cake and balloon animals and a bunch of other stuff. Kids enjoyed it.
Hammer,
LSU has a collection of historical aerials. Have gotten some from the 1940's in some areas. I can get as far back as 1998 no problem, but you probably want a little bit farther back than that.

Oh my 3 girls enjoyed it too. I was a nervous wreck. The two oldest got pissed when the baby (3) threw all 3 bean bags through the hole and won the big prize. Wrestlemania broke out and we had to leave.

Tenfoe...
That should work. Sloopy Nav maps would be fine. Just looking for some decorations that are a bit different.

I second wick with looking on galleries and auction houses in Nola. My dad found a very old print of the rigolets in one.

My grandpa used to have one hanging up from the 50's in his house in pilottown. Sucks we lost it in Katrina. 
I remembered being suprised how some areas had less land than they do today. Although a lot of areas had more land. Pilottown had a lot of floating marsh that mostly went away in Betsy &Camille.
The bar pilots or river pilots may have some in their collection if you know any pilots.

We were in New Orleans this weekend. That armory antique store on Royal st had some old maps. They were closing so I didn't get to look too close.

Thanks Wick I'll call over there this week.
Jason L, I know quite a few of them I haven't checked in over there yet. Would be awesome to have something that shows the communities that were there in the 30's-50's and then how they began to go away.
If I get something put together I'll let you all know and put up some pictures.
