About this map

St Francisville anchors this 1939 survey, situated along a sharp bend of the Mississippi River where the Meander Line 1828 reveals the shifting nature of the river's path over a century of navigation. The landscape of West Feliciana Parish is defined by its extensive plantation system and rural communities, including Magnolia Plantation, Rosalie Plantation, and Belmont Plantation. The complex network of watercourses, such as Thompson Creek and Sara Creek, supported a landscape of small post offices like Plettenberg P O and Corner P O.
