1939 Map of Locust Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Thistle Ridge Plantation and Buckhorn Plantation anchor a landscape defined by the serpentine meanders of the Mississippi River along the border of Louisiana and Mississippi. This 1939 survey, revised from earlier 1930s data, illustrates the complex hydrology of the Tensas Basin, where Big Choctaw Bayou and Little Choctaw Bayou thread through a network of plantation lands and small settlements. The area shows a transition from river-dependent agriculture to rail-connected commerce, with the Vicksburg New Orleans line cutting across the terrain.
