Historic River Road plantations line the banks of the Mississippi River in this late-century record of St. James Parish. Iconic landmarks like Oak Alley, Bon Secours Plantation, and Laurel Ridge Plantation anchor the high ground along the levees, while the settlement of College Point sits at a prominent bend in the river near St Paul Ch. Moving away from the river, the landscape transitions into the vast wetlands and cypress swamps of the St James Parish and Lafourche Parish border. This area is defined by a complex network of waterways including Bayou Citamon, Culgrass Willow Island Bayou, and Petit Chackbay. The map also documents the industrial presence in the basin, featuring an extensive Gas and Oil Field and scattered infrastructure such as a Pumping Station and various oil wells near the community of Chackbay.
