East Krotz Springs, Louisiana
- East Krotz Springs, Louisiana
East Krotz Springs is the name of a ghost town that was located in Pointe Coupee Parish's 1st Ward, approximately 12 miles west of Livonia, Louisiana (USA). The site of the town itself is located at coordinates 30°32'52.80"N, 91°44'42.41"W, and is covered or partially covered by the current U.S. Route 190 roadway. It is located on the east bank of the Atchafalaya River directly across from Krotz Springs, near the intersection of Louisiana Highway 975 and US-190.
East Krotz Springs was originally known as "Latania" and was the site of lumbering operations in the early 1900s. The Atchafalaya River levee broke at Latania in 1912 and 1913, flooding the southern part of Pointe Coupee Parish. Since 1939, this area has been located within the Morganza Spillway levee system and was entirely underwater again when the floodgates at the Morganza control structure to the northeast were opened in 1973 to allow for relief of the high water level on the Mississippi River. East Krotz Springs is subject to being flooded again if the control structure gates are ever opened. There is no visible trace of the town left today.
