1892 Map of Donaldsonville

About this map

The Mississippi River defines the landscape of this river parish survey, winding through a series of sharp bends including Pt Houmas and Brilliant Point. Following the 1890-91 field season, the map captures the region's dense riverfront development, where dozens of settlements and named landings like Belle Helene, Burnside, and Darrowville line the levees. The economy of the era is anchored by two major rail lines: the Louisville New Orleans and Texas Railway on the east bank and the Texas and Pacific Railroad on the west.
