1963 Map of Plaquemine

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Plaquemine and the surrounding river bends of the Mississippi River dominate this landscape, illustrating the complex relationship between the water and the land-use patterns of the 1960s and 1980s. The map reveals the deep historical roots of the region through its numerous named estates, including Cottage Plantation, New Hope Plantation, and St Louis Plantation. These large tracts contrast with the dense urban core of Plaquemine and the nearby industrial developments shown in purple revision, such as the sewage disposal areas near Gardere.
