Published in the aftermath of the Civil War, this General Land Office map of Louisiana points to newly available public lands. It identifies land offices in Monroe, Natchitoches, and New Orleans and right-of-way limits, measured in units of six and fifteen miles. Two land grant railroads are traced: the New Orleans, Opelousas, and Great Western, and the Vicksburg and Shreveport. Drawn by Joseph Gorlinski and signed in the plate by the GLO Commissioner Jos. S. Wilson.
