About this map

Addis and Plaquemine anchor this 2020 landscape where the complex hydrology of the Mississippi Delta meets modern transportation corridors. The Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and the Port Allen Canal intersect near the center of the sheet, carving through a terrain defined by older natural distributaries like Bayou Grosse Tete and Bayou Bourbeaux. This intersection of artificial and natural waterways highlights the region's long-standing role as a shipping and transit hub.

In the eastern sections, the Union Pacific rail lines and residential developments around Addis contrast with the large land holdings to the south, such as Myrtle Grove Plantation. Local history is preserved at Grace Memorial Park Cem and smaller settlements like Chenango. The map documents a landscape of transition, where suburban growth and industrial infrastructure are bounded by extensive wetlands and water bodies such as Efen Crane Lake and Bull Bay.
