1978 Map of Louisiana

About this map

Louisiana sits at the prominent confluence of the Mississippi River and the Salt River, serving as a vital transportation hub in the late 1970s. The town's industrial and river-faring character is evidenced by the presence of a boat ramp, Two Rivers Marina, and multiple quarries scattered along the river bluffs. To the north, the Ted Shanks State Wildlife Management Area and the Mark Twain National Wildlife Refuge preserve the intricate river bottomlands of Angle Island and Blackburn Island.
