New Orleans is located in southeast Louisiana, between
Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River. The airport
handles international and domestic flights, and there
are good road and rail links to the rest of the country. Prior
to Hurricane Katrina, in August 2005, the population of
central New Orleans was approximately 485,000. Many
New Orleanians lost their homes as a result of the terrible
floods and had to move away. By 2014, the population Lake
had rebounded to around 385,000. Pontchartrain
