2024 Map of Convent
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
Saint Michael the Archangel Cem and Mausoleum stands as a landmark on the east bank of the river, anchoring the community of Convent. This stretch of the Mississippi River corridor is defined by its historic river road settlements and the legacy of periodic flooding, visible in features like the Nita Crevasse and Belmont Crevasse. The map documents a dense network of small communities including Romeville, Oneida, and Hester that grew along the fertile natural levees, while the interior is dominated by the Blind River swamp and the winding Bayou des Acadiens. Cultural sites are well-preserved in the landscape, with the Saint James Cem and Celestin Cem providing vital points of reference for local family history and genealogy. The layout of roads like La 44 and La 3125 reflects the transition from river-oriented commerce to modern transit corridors.
