I find this map so interesting. All of the Plantations connected to the Mississippi River. Laura Plantation was rather large! But look at this super waterway of homes, and most were probably visible from the water as the levy had not yet been made.
Now there is a very high levy that holds the water of the river, in the river. It blocks the view of the river, but clearly protects the land.
If you want to do a Plantation tour, you know who can get you there!

In response to so many queries, here's a close-up inset (mainly St. James Parish) of the newly designed Persac Map. Included are all landowner names from 1858 with present-day titles of plantations in the 20th Century.
