1939 Map of Donaldsonville
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
The Mississippi River winds through this 1939 survey, defining the borders of Ascension Parish, St James Parish, and Assumption Parish. Centered on Donaldsonville, the landscape is a dense network of river-oriented commerce and agriculture, where the Illinois Central and Texas and Pacific Ry railroads connect long-standing riverfront tracts. Beyond the levee, the map documents the transition from established settlements like Gonzales and Burnside to the low-lying eastern terrain marked by McElroy Ridge and Junction Ridge.
