About this map

Cotton plantation life and the shifting hydrology of the Mississippi delta define this 1909 survey of northeast Louisiana. Large agricultural estates like Ashton Plantation and Gossypia Plantation dominate the landscape, following the fertile curves of the Mississippi River. The presence of Old River highlights the dynamic nature of the river’s course, where abandoned meanders created rich bottomlands for settlement. Along the western edge, the Iron Mountain and Southern Railroad provides a critical transit corridor, supporting small communities and schools like Millikin School. Local commerce and social hubs are clearly marked, from the Bells of the Bend Store near the riverbank to a series of rural houses of worship including New Bethel Church and Rose Hill Church. An Indian Mound near Panola Plantation provides a rare link to the ancient inhabitants of this alluvial plain.
