1892 Map of Quarantine

USGS Topo · Published 1905

About this map

Linear riverfront settlements define this late nineteenth-century landscape along the lower reaches of the Mississippi River. Unlike traditional town grids, habitation here follows the narrow natural levees between the river and the encroaching marshlands. The dense concentration of homes and small landings is captured in labels for the Grand Settlement and Buras Settlement, while individual landing points such as Home Place and Daisy suggest the river-dependent economy of the era.
