About this map

The Mississippi River creates a dynamic boundary between Louisiana and Mississippi, defining the landscape through major features like Hard Scrabble Bend and Bondurant Towhead. This survey details an era of extensive agricultural holdings along the river bottoms and bluffs, where numerous namesake plantations like Velverton Plantation and Mt Ararat Pltn dominated the economic life of Tensas Parish and Claiborne County. The map provides a remarkable window into the early development of Alcorn A & M College and the surrounding community of Alcorn.
