1962 Map of Reserve
USGS Topo · Published 1989About this map
The Mississippi River creates a massive, sweeping curve that defines the geography of this River Parish region. Along its north bank, the community of Reserve is densely settled between the river's Levee and the tracks of the Illinois Central. This area reveals the persistent pattern of long-lot land divisions common in Louisiana, where narrow tracts of land stretch back from the riverfront toward the wetlands. Notable historic sites like the San Francisco Plantation and Gold Mine Plantation are situated near the banks, reflecting the agricultural heritage of the area. Transportation infrastructure is prominent, with the Kansas City Southern and Illinois Central railroads serving the north bank, while the Texas and Pacific runs through the south bank near Edgard and the Wallace (PO) post office.
