Mandeville: US 190 at LA 22

Mandeville occupies the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain in southeastern Louisiana. Founded in 1834 by Bernard de Marigny de Mandeville, it developed as a lakeside retreat for New Orleans residents, many of whom once arrived by steamboat. Old Mandeville retains the town’s original street grid, with historic homes, local restaurants and small businesses near the waterfront. The 24-mile Lake Pontchartrain Causeway links the Northshore with the New Orleans metropolitan area across the lake, while the Tammany Trace rail trail passes through town.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
