1962 Map of Donaldsonville
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
Donaldsonville sits at a sharp bend in the Mississippi River, serving as a central hub for the surrounding river parishes in the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by the traditional long-lot plantation system, with narrow tracts extending back from the riverbanks. Several of these named estates, including Union Plantation, St Mary Plantation, and Dugas Plantation, are still clearly delineated, illustrating the enduring agricultural patterns of the region. The town itself shows significant development, featuring schools like Lowery High School and Ascension High School, alongside a local Fairground.
