About this map

The Penitentiary Farm at Angola dominates the northern bend of the Mississippi River in this mid-century survey, surrounded by a complex system of camps and landings like Angola Ldg. The landscape is defined by the river's historical shifts, most notably at the Raccourci Cutoff (1848) and Shreves Cutoff (1831), which left behind large oxbows like Raccourci Lake. These engineering changes fundamentally altered the local geography, creating isolated pockets of land between Pointe Coupee and West Feliciana Parish.
