1958 Map of Artonish

About this map

Fort Adams stands prominently on the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River, a landscape defined by dramatic bends and the complex hydrologic engineering of the mid-1950s. This survey documents a critical period of river management, featuring the Old River Control Structure under construction to manage the diversion of water between the Mississippi and the Atchafalaya basins. The transition from traditional plantation agriculture to modern river control is evident in the proximity of names like Shaw Plantation, Lochdale Plantation, and Artonish Plantation to the massive new levees and drainage works like the Bayou Cocodrie Drainage Structure.
