2024 Map of Lagan
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
Mississippi River bends sharply through this region of south Louisiana, anchoring a landscape where historic riverfront estates meet the expansive wetlands of the Acadian back country. The river's banks are lined with storied sites such as Bon Secours Plantation, Oak Alley, and Laurel Ridge Plantation, reflecting the distinct long-lot land patterns of the colonial era. In Convent, the Saint James Parish Courthouse serves as a civic anchor near College Point. Moving south away from the river, the terrain transitions into a dense network of waterways including Bayou Traverse and Bayou Petit Chackbay. These wetlands are home to remote settlements like Chackbay and secluded burial sites such as the Bayou Heron Graveyard, illustrating the enduring relationship between the community and the bayou environment.
