1940 Map of Lagan

About this map

Oak Alley Plantation and a series of prominent riverside estates define the landscape of the St. James Parish riverfront in the late 1930s. The Mississippi River creates a dramatic curve here, around which centers the community of College Point and Jefferson College. The map illustrates a sharp divide between the organized agriculture and transportation corridors near the river, including the Texas and Pacific railroad, and the expansive swamp environments to the south.
