For those who enjoy poring over large maps, this one (54" x 34") names and locates all the plantations along the Mississippi River from Natchez to New Orleans in 1850. Taken from from Persac's information, it's a fascinating geographical, historical and genealogical resource. The map even lists very small plantations along the river.

If you like this, also get a copy of "Along the River Road: Past and Present on Louisiana's Historic Byway" by Mary Ann Sternberg. While that book only covers the distance between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, it's a great companion piece.
