1892 Map of Donaldsonville
USGS Topo · Published 1897About this map
The Mississippi River defines the landscape of this late nineteenth-century river country, its winding course lined with narrow ribbon plantations and early rail infrastructure. Surveyed just after the great crevasse of 1890, the map clearly delineates the Nita Crevasse and the resulting alluvial deposit that reshaped the riverbank in St James Parish. The settlement pattern is strictly river-oriented, with landing points and small communities like Donaldsonville, Darrowville, and Burnside serving as focal points for local trade and transport.
