New Orleans Hurricane Katrina Damage Hot Spots Map #1752180 (License: Personal Use)

The map uses a gradient from green (minimal damage, level 1) to red (catastrophic damage, level 10) to illustrate the spatial distribution of destruction across New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Key high-damage clusters appear in the Lower Ninth Ward and eastern neighborhoods, correlating with levee failures and storm surge inundation. A compass rose and scale bar provide orientation and distance context for urban planning and historical analysis.
