About this map

The alluvial landscape of Tensas Parish is defined by the winding course of the Mississippi River and the prominent oxbow of Lake Bruen. This 1909 survey, conducted in cooperation with the Fifth Louisiana Levee District, reveals a highly organized agricultural economy centered on named plantation estates. Major holdings such as Bellevue Plantation, Lakewood Plantation, and Panola Plantation occupy the fertile ground between the river and the lake, reflecting the land use patterns common to the Mississippi Delta at the start of the 20th century.
