1955 Map of Fordoche
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Pointe Coupee Parish's intricate water-driven landscape is defined here by the massive Atchafalaya Basin Floodway and the Morganza Floodway, engineered to manage the volatile flow of the Mississippi River. The map documents a geography of survival and industry, noting historical breach points like the Morganza Crevasse April 1890 and the Melville Crevasse. Between the levees, agricultural history remains visible through established tracts such as Argyle Plantation, Stewart Plantation, and Stonewall Plantation.
