1962 Map of Lower Vacherie
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Southdown Plantation and Webre Steib Plantation mark the agricultural landscape of St. James Parish during the early 1960s, showing the enduring structure of the Mississippi River sugar belt. The settlement patterns follow a distinct linear arrangement along the elevated natural levees, with Lower Vacherie serving as a central hub. This community is anchored by the Lady of Mercy Ch and Miles Memorial Park, while the surrounding wetlands are crisscrossed by a complex network of waterways including the Dredge Boat Canal and the meandering Bayou Chevreuil.
