1965 Map of Lacour
USGS Topo · Published 1966About this map
The Mississippi River creates a dynamic landscape of oxbow lakes and alluvial ridges along the border of West Feliciana Parish and Pointe Coupee Parish. Central to this geography is Raccourci Old River, a massive cutoff that isolated Raccourci Island and left behind a series of secondary water bodies like Mondu Lake and Bundy Lake. The small settlement of Lacour sits behind a protective Levee, serving as a focal point for local life alongside Mt Zion Ch and Mount Olive Ch. To the south, the vast Morganza Floodway dominates the terrain, designed to manage the river's power during high water. The Texas and Pacific Louisiana and Arkansas Railway cuts through the western bottoms, illustrating the critical transportation links that once connected these river towns. Remote reaches like Tunica Swamp and Cane Ridge reveal a landscape where seasonal flooding has long dictated the patterns of human settlement and agriculture.
