About this map

The Mississippi River creates a deep, winding corridor through this section of Louisiana, anchoring the historic river parishes of Ascension, St. James, and Assumption. During the early 1960s, the landscape was a complex mosaic of sugarcane-producing settlements like Lemannville, Welcome, and Romeville clustered along the high ground of the river's levees. Inland, the rising terrain of McElroy Ridge and Lake Ridge transitions into the swampy lowlands of the Blind River and Amite River basins.
