About this map

The Mississippi River snake-like meander dominates the eastern portion of this 1984 survey, defining the industrial and urban corridor from Baton Rouge down through Plaquemine and Donaldsonville. West of the river, the landscape transitions into the massive Atchafalaya Basin Floodway, a complex network of wetlands and waterways including Grand Lake and Lake Fausse Pointe. This area illustrates the critical engineering required to manage the state's hydraulic systems, notably the Intracoastal Waterway and various levees protecting the low-lying terrain.
