2020 Map of Lagan

About this map

The Mississippi River winds through the heart of St. James Parish, anchoring a landscape defined by the historic riverfront patterns of French colonial-era settlement. Here, the long-lot ribbon farms are punctuated by significant sites including Oak Alley, Bon Secours Plantation, and Saint James Plantation. The civic center of College Point is marked by the Saint James Parish Courthouse, while the surrounding communities of Lagan, Moonshine, and Rich Bend occupy the higher ground near the river's bend before the terrain descends into the expansive wetlands to the south.
