1963 Map of Plaquemine
USGS Topo · Published 1989About this map
The Mississippi River creates a massive series of horseshoe bends through this delta landscape, defining the boundaries of East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge, and Iberville Parishes. The historic river-fronting economy is visible through a succession of major landholdings including Cottage Plantation, New Hope Plantation, and St Louis Plantation. These agricultural estates, along with others like Allemania Plantation, occupy the high ground within the river's loops, protected by a continuous Levee system. The city of Plaquemine serves as the regional hub, situated where the Plaquemine Lock once provided a critical link between the river and the inland bayous.
