1954 Map of Port Hudson

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Mississippi River river traffic and the complex hydrology of the Louisiana lowlands dominate this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by its relation to the water, where a system of Levees and a spoil bank protect the fertile ground of Pointe Coupee Parish from the shifting Fausse River Cut-Off. A dense network of landings, including Waterloo Landing, Anchor Landing, and Grand Bay Landing, highlights the era's reliance on riverborne commerce and the transportation of goods from the interior.
