Figure 1.12: A cross-section of the city of New Orleans, from the University of New Orleans (UNO) on the shore of Lake Pontchartrain, to the Mississippi River at Canal Street, illustrates the idea of the landscape of New Orleans being like a bowl or saucer, the lowest elevations being in the interior. You can reproduce this cross section in Google Earth and GeoMapApp.
