About this map

The Louisiana State Penitentiary and State Penal Farm dominate this riverbend landscape, organized around an extensive network of levees and specialized facilities. The terrain is defined by the shifting course of the Mississippi River, which separates Raccourci Island from the mainland and leaves behind oxbow features like Killarney Lake and the Raccourci Old River. To the east, the topography rises sharply into the hills near Tunica, where a cluster of community landmarks such as Tunica School, Tunica Hills Church, and Comely Cemetery suggest the local social fabric outside the prison grounds. Along the riverbank, Como Landing and Leatherman Point mark historical transit spots, while an Old Railroad Grade traces a path through the lowlands, reflecting the era's reliance on both rail and water for moving goods through West Feliciana Parish.
