New Orleans is one of the oldest cities in the United States. It was established in 1718 by the French near the mouth of the Mississippi River. The city is surrounded by water with Lake Pontchartrain to the north and cradled in a crescent section of the river to the south. Most of the city is built below sea level except for the oldest sections. Figure 1 consists of a map of New Orleans which shows the location of the two universities of interest, Tulane University and the University of New Orleans.
