If one tries to find Maissade on a map, one would look to the coordinates where they might find other towns like Liancourt or Marchand Dessalines, but, since Maissade is further inland than the first town, a further 10' North and 8' West would be needed to put you on the right track. Maissade saw an investment in soil conversation turn considerable profit for them. These returns showed that such projects, those which use the organizational skills of local peasants to manage the watershed management, can be highly effective.
