About this map

The Mississippi River winds through the heart of St. Charles Parish, defining the industrial and civic landscape of this Louisiana river corridor. The Saint Charles Parish Courthouse serves as a central landmark in Hahnville, surrounded by established riverfront communities including Taft, Killona, and Norco. The map reveals the intricate water management system essential to the region, featuring the massive Bonnet Carre Floodway and a network of drainage infrastructure like the Saint Charles Canal, Vial Canal, and Hymel Canal.

Genealogists will find a wealth of site-specific data, as the map identifies numerous local burying grounds including Holy Rosary Cem, Saint Charles Borromeo Cem, and the Mount Zion Baptist Cem Garden of Memories. The transition from the high ground of the river levees to the wetlands is marked by features such as Cypress Island and Pointe Cypres, illustrating the persistence of the natural swamp environment alongside the developed settlements of Boutte and Ellington.
