1891 Map of Hahnville
USGS Topo · Published 1912About this map
The Mississippi River creates a dramatic winding corridor through this late nineteenth-century landscape, flanked by a dense concentration of riverfront settlements and early rail infrastructure. Surveyed in 1890, the map illustrates the critical nexus between river transport and emerging rail lines, including the Louisville New Orleans and Texas Railroad and the Texas and Pacific Railroad. Small riverside communities like Hahnville, Luling, and Pecan Grove are positioned along the natural levees, while the vast southern reaches transition into the marshy expanse of the Grand Prairie Des Allemands. This transition is marked by a complex network of waterways, including Bayou Des Allemands and Bayou Black Prince, which feed into Lake Salvador and Lake Cataouatche, revealing a region defined by its fluid boundaries between land and water.
