1962 Map of Lagan
USGS Topo · Published 1975About this map
Mississippi River riverbanks define the life and economy of this Louisiana landscape in the early 1960s, where traditional sugar estates like Oak Alley and St James Plantation sit alongside more modern infrastructure. The winding levee system protects established settlements such as College Point and Lagan, while the Texas and Pacific railroad tracks trace the northern shoreline. Inland, the terrain transitions sharply into a network of wetlands and waterways, including the St James Canal and Bayou Chevreuil. An extensive elevated aqueduct system cuts across the southern parish line into Lafourche Parish, signifying the complex water management required in this low-lying area. Local history is anchored by sites such as Manresa Retreat and rural landmarks like St Lukes Ch and the Trosclair Cem, which mark the community's presence amid the gas and oil fields.
