1941 Map of Batchelor

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

The Mississippi River and its shifting hydrology dominate this landscape at the boundary of Pointe Coupee Parish and West Feliciana Parish. The map illustrates the dramatic engineered changes to the river's course, most notably the Raccourci Cut-Off 1848 which left behind the massive loop of the Raccourci Old River. Inland, the economy of the early 1940s is anchored by the Texas and Pacific RR and large agricultural holdings like Mains Plantation and Lacour Plantation.
