1911 Map of Lake Providence
USGS Topo · Published 1939About this map
The oxbow of Lake Providence and the shifting course of the Mississippi River define this corner of Northeast Louisiana in the early twentieth century. This survey, conducted in cooperation with the Fifth Louisiana Levee District, documents the critical interface between the river's hydrology and the established plantation economy. Large estates including Belle Mead Plantation, Buck Meadows Plantation, and Tyrone Plantation occupy the fertile lands protected by the levee system, while the Iron Mountain and Southern railroad connects the parish seat to wider markets.
