Orleans, a See also:part of the See also:city, are in-the See also:South-western Portion of the United States, being vol. v., See also:American dustrial suburbs on the west See also:bank of the See also:Mississippi, connected with the See also:east bank by a See also:steam See also:ferry and with one another by electric railway. At Algiers are railway terminals and repair shops of the See also:Southern Pacific and the See also:Texas & Pacific; and the United States See also:Naval Station here, which was built in 1844 (though land was bought for it in 1849), and has a large See also:steel floating dry See also:dock, is the only fresh-See also:water station south of Ports-mouth, See also:Virginia, and is equipped to make all See also:repairs.
The city site is almost perfectly level; there is an exceedingly slight slope from the See also:river toward the tidal morasses that border See also:Lake Pontchartrain. The See also:elevation of the city See also:plain is only to ft. above the See also:sea, and its See also:lower parts are as much as 10-12 ft. below the Mississippi at high See also:flood water. About 6 m. of heavy " levees " or dykes—in some parts rising clear above the city plain, but backed by filled-in areas graded down from the shores where the See also:traffic of the water-front is concentrated—protect it from the See also:waters. The See also:speed of the current reaches, in times of high water, a See also:rate of 5 M. an See also:hour. Along the immediate front of the See also:principal commercial See also:quarter, this current, losing some of its force by See also:change of direction, deposits its See also:alluvium in such quantities as to produce a See also:constant encroachment of the See also:shore upon the See also:harbour. At its widest part this new land or batture, with wharves, streets and warehouses following eagerly after it, has advanced some 1500 ft. beyond the water-See also:line of the See also:middle of the 18th See also:century.
The See also:climate is not marked by extremes of See also:absolute See also:heat or See also:cold. Only once in See also:thirty-seven years (1871–1907) did the thermometer See also:register as high as 1020 F., and on only a few days did it register above 96°; in See also:February 1899 the temperature was 7°, but it rarely falls below 22°. The See also:average See also:annual rainfall is about 58 in.
See also:Canal See also:Street, the centre of See also:retail See also:trade and street See also:life, See also:bounds on the south-west near the river the Vieux Card—the old rectangle within the walls of the See also:original city, bounded by the river, Canal, Rampart and Esplanade streets—and separates the picturesque, peaceful See also:French (or Latin) Quarter of the See also:north-east from the bustling business and dignified See also:residence districts of the American Quarter, or New City, on the south-west. In the latter St Charles See also:Avenue and Prytania Street have the finest residences, and in the former Esplanade Avenue. Just below Canal Street, in the See also:oldest part of the American Quarter, are many of the most important or imposing buildings of the city, and some of the places most intimately associated with its history. Here are the St Charles Hotel (1894), the third of that name on the See also:present site, all famous hostelries, and the first (1838–1851) one of the earliest of the See also:great hotels of the See also:country; and See also:Lafayette Square, surrounded by the City See also:- HALL
