About this map

The Mississippi River and Atchafalaya River dominate this 1980s landscape, illustrating a complex network of active and relic channels. The oxbow of False River defines the community of New Roads, while the expansive Raccourci Island sits within a massive bend of the Mississippi. This era shows the region's significant state presence, with the State Penitentiary located at the northern river bend, the State Industrial School for Boys to the south, and the State Hospital situated near the eastern bluffs.
