1891 Map of Hahnville
USGS Topo · Published 1891About this map
Hahnville and its surrounding riverfront settlements define the late-nineteenth-century landscape of St Charles Parish, where the winding Mississippi River dictated the placement of every major home and depot. In the 1890s, the region was a critical nexus for southern transportation, with the Texas and Pacific Railroad and the Southern Pacific Railroad carving paths through the wetlands toward the southwest. Moving away from the river, the landscape transitions into the water-logged expanse of the Grand Prairie Des Allemands. This environment is punctuated by intricate waterways like Bayou Black Prince and Bayou Piquant, which flow into the massive Lake Salvador. The map provides a detailed view of family-named settlements like Davis, Rost, and Loquer during a period when the river-and-rail economy was transforming traditional bayou life.
