2015 Map of Lacour

About this map

Mississippi River meanders define the complex boundary between Pointe Coupee and West Feliciana Parishes, creating a landscape of oxbows and islands. At the heart of this alluvial plain, the Raccourci Old River and Raccourci Island reflect the river's historical shifts, while the Morganza Floodway provides critical water management infrastructure for the region. Small settlements and landmarks are scattered across the higher ground, including Lacour and Cane Ridge. Genealogists may find value in the presence of several local burial grounds such as Mount Zion Cem, Mount Olive Cem, and Little Rock Cem. The industrial footprint of the early 21st century is marked by the Missouri Pacific Railroad corridor and a network of local routes like Cat Island Rd and Ashley Ave, which navigate the sloughs and lakes of the bottomlands.
