Its focus is on human interactions with the physical environment that people occupy. Louisiana Geography opens with a chapter that introduces the discipline of geography, the importance of the Mississippi River in the development of Louisiana's physical and cultural landscapes, and various geographical foundations such as location, boundaries and parishes. Chapters 2 through 6 considers the natural environment of the state, identifying the processes that have created the landforms, soils, vegetation and climate and their interrelationships. Chapters 7 and 8 turn to the human element - Native American and European settlement patterns and the wide variety of cultural landscapes they created.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel H. Lockett's Louisiana As It Is: A Geographical and Topographical Description of the State provides a reference and a guide to Louisiana during the late 1800s. The survey provides accurate geographical data and describes the physical features of the land. Louisiana As It Is delivers an encompassing overview of Lockett's entire survey process including the ways in which the survey was made and conducted and a detailed analysis of Louisiana's geographical design. Lockett offers accounts of the different cultures of the parishes and provides an enlightening portrait on the daily lives of the people. Lockett even remarks upon the public's common misconceptions concerning Louisiana's geography. He suggests that Louisiana As It Is aids in correcting and dispelling these assumptions. The work includes a preface by the editor, Lauren C. Post, and two appendixes that list population data and a translation of Lockett's orthographic nomenclature for each city.
Download or read book State of Disaster written by Craig E. Colten and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2021-10-20 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State of Disaster: A Historical Geography of Louisiana’s Land Loss Crisis explores Louisiana’s protracted efforts to restore and protect its coastal marshes, nearly always with minimal regard for the people displaced by those efforts. As Craig E. Colten shows, the state’s coastal restoration plan seeks to protect cities and industry but sacrifices the coastal dwellers who have maintained their presence in this perilous place for centuries. This historical geography examines in turn the adaptive capacity of those living through repeated waves of calamity; the numerous disjointed environmental management regimes that contributed to the current crisis; the cartographic visualizations of land loss used to activate public coastal policy; and the phases of public input that nevertheless failed to give voice to the citizens most impacted by various environmental management strategies. In closing, Colten situates Louisiana’s experience within broader discussions of climate change and recovery from repeated crises.

"Mr. William Darby appears, by his work, to be a gentlemen of high scientific and literary acquirements. His task of a descriptive geographical work embraces all that relates to the soil, produce, and natural history of Louisiana, and corrects not a few mistakes on many of those subjects which had remained unsettled, owing to want of sufficient observation, and of proper documents. No known traveller in that country has ever bestowed so much time and fatigue in collecting correct materials, and surveying distant and inaccessible points throughout the range of the various districts, the names of which, half Indian and French, would not perplex a little those who never were acquainted with the history of this interesting section of the New World, and which has "experienced singular vicissitudes of fortune, and a frequent change of sovereigns' M In its former governments, Louisiana was divided into parishes; but it was, nevertheless, geographically delineated, according to its natural grand prairies or meadows, into which the original settlers had seldom penetrated; it was therefore highly proper For Mr. Darby to attend to those very significant territorial...
