re: Maurepas Swamp Duck Hunting

The Mississippi River most definitely would have overflowed into Maurepas Swamp at some time in history. I saw an old map once of the area that I live in that showed an old bayou that no longer exists. Bayou Acadian. It was near by where my home is now, and it went from the Mississippi River into the swamp, where it became Blind River. Before the levies were built, no doubt this bayou would bring water and sediment to the swamp. There were probably similar bayous all along the Mississippi.
