1999 Map of Reserve

About this map

The Mississippi River creates a wide, sweeping bend through this stretch of the river parishes, defining the economic and social geography of the region. On the northern bank, the industrial and residential corridors of Reserve and Garyville are connected by a network of canals like the Godchaux Canal and Reserve Canal, reflecting the area's transition from agricultural foundations to industrial utility. The riverfront is dotted with significant landmarks including the San Francisco Plantation and Lions, while the southern bank maintains a more rural character around the settlements of Edgard and Lucy.
