Description:Excerpt from Third Annual Report of the Topographical Survey of Louisiana Col. D. F. Boyd, Superintandent Lonisiana State University: Sir-Herein I beg leave to submit my third annual report of operations in the topographical survey of the State of Louisiana. The parishes that I have visited and examined during the past year are tire following, viz: West Feliciana, Jiast Feliciana, St. Helenn, Tau-gipahya, Washington, St Tammany and Livingston. Parish of west Feliciana. In my first annual report (1869) I incidentally noticed the parish of West Feliciana in a partial description therein given of East Feliciana. My observations on both of those parishes have been of a more detailed and extended uaturo this year, aud the following will be found a more full and accurate account of them: Tho bluffs that infringe against the Mississippi river at Fort Adams, in tho State of Mississippi, continue in a nearly due south direction to Tunica Bend in West Feliciana; thence they bear southeast to the town of St Francisville, and thence in the same general diction to Port Hudson and Baton Rouge. Between the line of biuffs aud the rirer is an alluvial bottom, varying in width according U- tn * sinuosities of tho liver. Where tho bluffs cross the Slate line the width of the bottom is from thrco aud a half to four miles. At Tunica and Bayou Sara it is roduccd to almost nothing, while opposite to Morgan's Bend it reaches a width of over eight miles. The charactor of this bottom is similar to that of tho Mississippi bottom at other pointe. Along the immediate banks of the river the lands are arablo and generally cultivated. They are, however, ouly partially protected from anuual overflow. Passing back from the river tbo surface becomes low and swampy, cut up by bayous and numerous lakes.
