Description: This antique map from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, dating back to 1895, illustrates the Fourth District of the Mississippi River Commission. It specifically highlights the Atchafalaya, Lafourche, and Pontchartrain levees, which were essential to controlling flooding and managing the waterways in this region during the late 19th century. The map measures 20x9 inches and is in good condition with stunning detail. The Mississippi River levee system played a critical role in the development of the surrounding areas by preventing devastating floods.
