1999 Map of Convent
USGS Topo · Published 2000About this map
Sugar land and river history define this reach of the Mississippi River, where the landscape is organized by the traditional long-lot ribbon patterns of historic Louisiana plantations. From Malarcher Plantation and Uncle Sam Plantation in the north to the iconic Oak Alley Plantation and St Joseph Plantation further south, the map documents the proximity of these riverfront estates to the industrial developments of the late 20th century. The intricate network of drainage canals and the massive levee system protect settlements like Convent and Romeville from the powerful river currents.
