Historical State Map | Bayous, Culture & Character | Wall Format (337 × 327 mm) | Premium Finishes

A richly evocative portrait of one of America’s most distinctive states, Louisiana captures the spirit of the Deep South in the early 20th century. Published by National Geographic in April 1930 alongside the feature article “Louisiana, Land of Perpetual Romance,” this map blends geography with atmosphere—place with identity.

From winding bayous to historic plantations and vibrant cultural centres, it presents Louisiana as a landscape unlike any other in the United States.
