1892 Map of Donaldsonville

USGS Topo · Published 1906

About this map

The Mississippi River defines this late nineteenth-century landscape, snaking through the lowlands of Ascension, St James, and Assumption parishes. The river's influence is most striking at the Nita Crevasse, where the map documents an alluvial deposit that reshaped the local terrain. Along the riverbanks, a dense network of river-fronting properties and landings appears, including Donaldsonville, Port Barrow, and Convent.
