Mississippi River levees and the intricate bayous of Plaquemines Parish define this 1939 survey, capturing a riverine economy dependent on both water and rail. The east bank is anchored by Pointe a la Hache, the regional center connected by the Louisiana Southern railroad to downstream settlements like Bohemia and City Price. Across the water, the Missouri Pacific line services a string of communities including Myrtle Grove, Alliance, and Burbridge.
