About this map

The Mississippi River defines the landscape of the river parishes in the 1890s, winding past established landings and sugar country settlements. The survey reveals the precarious nature of life on the levee, explicitly marking the Nita Crevasse and the resulting alluvial deposit that scarred the eastern bank. This geological detail offers a direct record of a specific catastrophic flood event that reshaped the local topography and economy just prior to the mapping.
