1906 Map of Bayou Sara
USGS Topo · Published 1921About this map
St. Francisville anchors this early 20th-century landscape where the Mississippi River defines the shifting boundary between Louisiana parishes. The map illustrates a hydrological transition as the river bypasses its former channel at False River, creating False Island and leaving behind the vast Grand Swamp and Greves Swamp. This period was defined by a complex transportation network, featuring the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad and the Texas and Pacific lines moving goods across the alluvial plains.
