About this map

St Francisville and the high bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River anchor this 1904 survey of the central Louisiana lowlands. The geography is defined by the river’s dynamic movement, most notably the prominent oxbow of the False River which isolates False Island and the expansive Grand Swamp to the west. Eastward, the landscape transitions into the rolling terrain of the Felicianas, where the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley RR and its Woodville Branch connect a network of agricultural settlements like Wakefield and Jackson.
