1962 Map of New Roads
USGS Topo · Published 1994About this map
False River, a massive oxbow lake cut off from the main channel centuries ago, dominates this landscape in Pointe Coupee Parish. The settlement of New Roads serves as the focal point, situated on the natural levee along the northern curve of the lake. This survey highlights the deep alluvial heritage of the region, where narrow land tracts extend from the riverfront into the interior, a pattern visible near Wickliffe and Ventress. On the opposite bank of the oxbow, the land known as The Island is crisscrossed by drainage features like Discharge Bayou and False Bayou.
