2020 Map of Carville

About this map

The Mississippi River carves a massive, looping bend through this landscape, defining the border between Iberville Parish and Ascension Parish. Along the river's fertile banks, numerous settlements and landing sites like Carville, Hohen Solms, and Modeste are linked by the historic River Rd. This 2020 survey reveals a community deeply anchored by its spiritual and ancestral sites, featuring an extensive network of cemeteries such as the Asbery African Methodist Episcopal Cem and Mount Bethel Baptist Cem. The interior terrain is characterized by a mix of drainage features like Bayou Braud and industrial or agricultural access roads, including Geigy Access Rd and Mulberry Grove Rd. To the south, the river passes Eightyone Mile Point, while islands like Claiborne Island shift within the channel, illustrating the dynamic nature of the lower Mississippi corridor.
