1962 Map of Donaldsonville
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The Mississippi River creates a dramatic series of bends here, anchoring a landscape defined by the historic river-and-rail economy of the Louisiana sugar belt. Donaldsonville serves as the regional hub at the head of Bayou Lafourche, its streets radiating from the riverbank Levee near the waterworks and gaging station. The surrounding terrain is meticulously partitioned into long, narrow land grants that stretch back from the river, a traditional pattern visible in the layout of the Union Plantation, St Mary Plantation, and Dugas Plantation.
