About this map

Lettsworth and Williamsport anchor a landscape defined by the shifting course of the Mississippi River in northern Pointe Coupee Parish. This modern record of the river's hydrology shows the complex network of oxbows and cutoffs, including Raccourci Old River and the Shreves Cutoff, which have shaped the low-lying terrain. The area is dotted with numerous local burial grounds, such as Saint Stephens Episcopal Church Cem, Sunnyside Cem, and Pikes Peak Cem, providing significant geographic markers for genealogical research.

Water dominates the region, from the winding Bayou Lettsworth to isolated bodies like Big Lake Moreau and Field Lake. The placement of Torras near the Carr Cut-Off and Innis to the south illustrates how local settlements remain tied to the river’s historical and contemporary pathways. The map also traces local infrastructure along Gayden Rd and Pupera Rd, connecting the scattered communities through the wetlands.
