HOUSE ON MISSISSIPPI RIVER BATTURE, 05/1972 Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana Note: such houses built by what were known as "Batture dwellers" were common during the Great Depression; the land between the crest of the River levee and the water was Federally controled and out of local juristiction to evict people, giving them a quasi-legal if precarious residence. When the river is high, piers keep the house out of water which covers this area; unusually high water on the river can flood or destroy such batture houses. By the last third of the 20th century only a few batture houses remained. |
