The Mississippi River creates a dramatic curve at Hahnville, anchoring a landscape defined by intensive riparian settlement and the vast cypress swamps of St. Charles Parish. Compiled from 1932 field examinations and Army Air Corps photography, this survey reveals the early 20th-century transition of the River Parishes. Significant railroad infrastructure, including the Illinois Central, Y & M V RR, and Southern Pacific, cuts through the alluvial flats to connect riverfront towns like Destrehan and Goodhope.
