Upper Pargoud Plantation Red River Specie — Ouachita Parish

Lost Treasure LA • Ouachita Parish County
Description
North Monroe legend of antebellum plantation specie at Upper Pargoud — one of the great Ouachita River cotton plantations documented in the 1966 Early Monroe Homes survey.
Historical Notes
Upper Pargoud Plantation appears in Ouachita Parish ghost-town records and Nan Saulsberry's 1966 Early Monroe Homes Report alongside Lower Pargoud, Ingleside, and other river plantations. The Pargoud family ranked among Ouachita Parish's prominent antebellum planters; plantation-cache folklore imagines strongboxes buried when Federal troops threatened river estates or when family heirs dispersed after the war. Coordinates mark the Upper Pargoud historic grounds north of downtown Monroe along the Ouachita River bluff. Private residential area — legend only.
Status / Verification legend — Legendary or approximate
