1909 Map of Wilson Point

About this map

Mississippi River meanders define the landscape of East Carroll Parish in this detailed survey, conducted in cooperation with the Fifth Louisiana Levee District. The map captures the delicate topography of the alluvial plain, where the river's shifting course created distinctive features like Opossum Point and the enclosed Wilson Point Lake. Small riverside communities like Wilson Point and Cottonwood are documented alongside the Morning Star Church, providing a precise look at the settlement patterns that existed behind the levee system in the early twentieth century. This survey is a joint effort between the Mississippi River Commission and State Engineers, meticulously mapping the shoreline and the elevations between the river and the artificial levees that protect the surrounding farmland.
