Donaldsonville and the surrounding river parishes are captured here during a period of significant deltaic change following the 1890 breach of the levee. The map documents the Nita Crevasse, including the Alluvial deposit from Nita Crevasse that reshaped the local terrain. Long, narrow land tracts characteristic of the French long-lot system extend from the banks of the Mississippi River, supporting numerous small communities and plantations like Belle Helene, Salsberg, and Welham.
