1911 Map of Lake Providence

About this map

The oxbow of Lake Providence dominates the landscape of East Carroll Parish, where the curved waters separate the main settlement from the sprawling Tyrone Plantation and Indian Mounds to the north. Surveyed in cooperation with the Fifth Louisiana Levee District, this map reveals a complex agrarian and river economy at the start of the 1910s. The powerful Mississippi River defines the eastern boundary, shifting past Stack Island and leaving behind secondary channels like The Chute and Round Lake.
