About this map

The National Leprosarium sits prominently along the river bend at Carville, illustrating the specialized institutional history of this Mississippi River corridor in the early 1950s. The landscape is defined by the sharp meanders of the Mississippi River, creating significant landforms like Claiborne Island and Philadelphia Point. Numerous landings, including Hard Times Landing and Woodstock Landing, dot the riverbanks, marking the traditional reliance on waterborne transit alongside the Illinois Central and Texas and Pacific railroads.
