1962 Map of Donaldsonville
USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
Donaldsonville serves as the focal point of this riverbend landscape, situated where the Mississippi River meets the head of Bayou Lafourche. The 1960s riverfront reflects a deep history of sugar production and river commerce, evidenced by the numerous named estates such as Dugas Plantation, Union Plantation, and St Mary Plantation. These agricultural tracts, bounded by an extensive levee system, are bisected by the Texas and Pacific railroad, which provided a vital link between the river settlements and inland markets.
