About this map

The Louisiana State Penitentiary Farm dominates the northern landscape of this Mississippi River bend, marking a site deeply intertwined with the region's agricultural and penal history. The river's dramatic evolution is visible through documented engineering shifts like Shreves Cutoff (1831) and Raccourci Cutoff (1848), which transformed the active channel and left behind oxbows like Raccourci Old River. These cutoffs isolated Raccourci Island, creating a landscape of sloughs and lakes such as Lake Killarney and Sawmill Lake.
