Port Hudson occupies a prominent position on this survey, situated above the strategic bluffs where Thompson Creek joins the Mississippi River. The map captures the complex riverine geography of the early 1960s, including Point Menoir and the wide arc of the False River. This landscape is deeply connected to Civil War history, evidenced by the Port Hudson National Cem and the traces of an Old Railroad Grade cutting across the terrain north of the settlement.
