1892 Map of Donaldsonville

USGS Topo · Published 1912

About this map

The Mississippi River defines this landscape in the late nineteenth century, its winding course lined with long-lot land divisions that reach back from the levees. At the heart of the region, Donaldsonville and Port Barrow sit at a significant bend, serving as focal points for river commerce and the Texas and Pacific Railroad. The map provides a remarkable record of the river's volatility, specifically the Nita Crevasse and the resulting alluvial deposit that reshaped the terrain near Welcome.
