About this map

Lake Providence and its distinctive oxbow dominate this Mississippi River landscape at the beginning of the twentieth century. The map illustrates a highly developed riverine economy where large estates like Belle Mead Plantation, Olivedell Plantation, and Desona Plantation line the fertile alluvial plains. The town of Lake Providence serves as the central hub, situated where The Chute meets the main Mississippi River channel near Stack Island.
