Map of Louisiana Representing the Several Land Districts

A wonderfully detailed and colored map of the surveys of the PLSS in the State of Louisiana in 1850. The land districts are outlined in vibrant color, labeled and annotated with waterways, water bodies, some place names, and other miscellaneous. The interesting part of this map is the depiction of the very large land Claim of Baron de Bastrop in the northeast part of the State. This is an interesting story, to say the least. Rather than give a history lesson here, please look up the Baron for some entertaining history.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

All of our United States Coast Survey (USCS), United States Coast & Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), and similar maps and charts have been professionally unfolded and flattened using humidity baths, semi-permeable membrane and drying blotter techniques. Most others you typically see on eBay have not been, and worse, are quickly and crudely unfolded for the low quality photos you see. Unfolding these maps in that way is damaging and weakens them. Please be aware.
