> UWM Libraries...found a 1958 evacuation map of New Orleans...

The Congressional Serial Set has many documents and maps pertaining to
New Orleans, hurricanes, the
levees, etc., from the 1800's to the more recent past. For example:

* "Improvement of Mississippi River levee in front of New Orleans" (1882)
* "Atchafalaya, Lafourche & Pontchartrain Levee Districts" (1895)
* "Sketch map of New Orleans Land Company tract, New Orleans, La.,
showing arrangement of ditches
and levees" (1910)
* "Report on interim hurricane survey of Mississippi River Delta at and
below New Orleans, La." (1962)
* "Report on interim hurricane survey of Lake Pontchartrain and
vicinity, La." (1965)
