1893 Map of Dime

About this map

The Mississippi River creates a thin ribbon of habitable land in the southwest corner of this coastal survey, where the small settlements of Dime and Happy Jack sit along the riverbank. This late 19th-century landscape is defined by a dense network of marshland and waterways, where the N. O. Ft. J. & G. I. R. R. follows the narrow levee corridor. Beyond the immediate riverfront, the terrain dissolves into an intricate maze of coastal lakes and bayous.
