1939 Map of Donaldsonville
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The Mississippi River defines the landscape of this late 1930s survey, its winding course lined with a dense network of river-based commerce and established estates. Large agricultural tracts such as Monroe Plantation, Conway Plantation, and Orange Grove Plantation dominate the riverbanks, reflecting a period when the plantation economy still shaped the physical layout of the region. The city of Donaldsonville serves as the hub at the river's bend, where multiple rail lines, including the Texas and Pacific and the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley, converge to support the movement of goods.
