2024 Map of Innis

About this map

Mississippi River meanders define the complex hydrology of this Pointe Coupee Parish landscape, where historical river shifts have created a series of cutoffs and remnant lakes. The community of Lettsworth sits at a geographic bend, surrounded by a dense network of water bodies including Big Lake Moreau, Clear Lake, and McIntyre Lake. This area is particularly rich for genealogical research, featuring numerous small burial grounds such as Morefield Cem, Mount Olive Cem, and the Saint Stephens Episcopal Church Cem near Williamsport. The landscape is a mosaic of bayous and former river channels, with Raccourci Old River and Shreves Cutoff illustrating the constant evolution of the delta. Land use is largely governed by the proximity to these waterways, with local roads like State Rte 418 and Gayden Rd connecting established settlements like Innis and Torras through the low-lying terrain.
