Bayou Teche defines the residential and agricultural heart of this St. Mary Parish landscape, winding past the historic seat at Franklin and through the community of Centerville. During the late 1960s, the region maintained a complex balance between its traditional bayou settlements and the industrial demands of the Oil and Gas Field. The map illustrates how the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroads served the corridor, connecting plantations like Oaklawn and Camperdown to the wider commerce of the Gulf Coast.
