About this map

The Mississippi River shapes the geography of Pointe Coupee Parish on this 2012 survey, defining a landscape of active river engineering and historic riverfront settlements. Significant landmarks such as Torras Landing, Red River Landing, and Angola Landing highlight the importance of water-based transport and river crossings in this region. The map captures the complex hydrography of the floodplain, where Shreves Cutoff and Raccourci Cutoff indicate the river's dynamic history of changing course.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the area, including Saint Marys Cem, Morefield Cem, Levee Cem, and Mount Olive Cem. Small communities like Lettsworth, Innis, and Williamsport are clustered near the waterways and local road networks, including Church St and W Saint Mary St. To the east, features like Shreves Bar, Miles Bar, and Monkey Island illustrate the shifting sediment and islands within the main channel of the river.
