1965 Map of Lacour
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
The Mississippi River creates a dynamic environment in this mid-1960s study of the river valley, where the boundary between West Feliciana and Pointe Coupee parishes weaves across shifting landmasses. The massive Morganza Floodway dominates the western landscape, designed to manage the river's overflow, while the Raccourci Old River stands as a testament to the river's historical meanders. The small settlement of Lacour serves as a local landmark, surrounded by numerous bayous and sloughs like Stouts Bayou, Blue Bayou, and Pauls Slough. Rural life is centered around community pillars such as Mt Zion Ch, Mount Olive Ch, and Jerusalem Ch. The industrial footprint of the era is evidenced by the Texas and Pacific Arkansas and Louisiana railroad line, which navigates the alluvial plain alongside natural features like Raccourci Island and the dense Tunica Swamp.
