1953 Map of Carville
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
The Mississippi River defines the landscape of this riverbend region, where the sweeping curves of the water create natural landforms like Claiborne Island and Philadelphia Point. The map illustrates the specialized land-use patterns of the Louisiana river parishes in the early 1950s, characterized by long, narrow property lines extending back from the riverbanks. Notable institutional landmarks are present, most notably the National Leprosarium south of Carville.
