Description: This is a detailed antique map from 1898, showing the levee districts and principal levee lines of Louisiana and part of Arkansas. It was originally created to accompany the report of the Board of Engineers. The map, sized at 12x15 inches, is in good condition, though a small rip has been repaired using rice tape, preserving its structural integrity. The image itself is beautifully detailed, offering a fascinating look into the levee systems that were vital to controlling flood risks along the Mississippi River at the time. This piece of history illustrates the essential infrastructure designed to protect the region from the river's flooding dangers in the late 19th century. If you're interested in more historical maps or images related to U.S. engineering or historical flood control efforts, feel free to check out the rest in my shop for other rare and historical maps.
