The 7,000 acre Woodstock Plantation, occupying a Mississippi bend in Washington County, had been purchased in the late 1840's by Alfred Grayson Carter: "The land was selected by Mr. Carter on account of its great fertility, because of the transportation facilities afforded by the river, and because its situation [on a natural levy] made it, (at the time) secure from the annual floods." The plantation was adjacent to the Argyle Plantation and the Blanton Plantation.

The Randolph's messed with the natural levee which did not work as expected:
"Messrs. G. M. Helm, W. F. Randolph, Alfred Stone and others whose plantations on the Bayou are now deeply submerged, have spent the greater part of the week on the water, rescuing stock and securing cabins and other plantation property."
