1965 Map of Tunica
USGS Topo · Published 1975About this map
The Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola dominates this section of the riverfront, set within a massive bend of the Mississippi River. This mid-century survey illustrates the sprawling Louisiana State Penal Farm landscape, where the prison complex is surrounded by intensive drainage canals like Bobs Bayou and large water bodies including Lake Killarney. The map captures the complex geography of the state border, where the river's shifting course has created features like Raccourci Island and Monkey Island, isolated by oxbows such as Raccourci Old River.
