2015 Map of Plaquemine

About this map

The Mississippi River winds through a landscape defined by industrial shipping and deep-rooted agricultural history in this 2015 study. The city of Plaquemine serves as a focal point where the Intracoastal Waterway and Bayou Plaquemine meet the main river channel. This area preserves vestiges of its plantation economy, with the Evergreen Plantation, Saint Louis Plantation, and Allemania tracts still clearly delineated along the western banks. On the opposite shore, newer residential developments such as University Shadows and Sable Chase signify the expanding suburban reach of the nearby state capital. The map captures the complex geography of the river's bends, including Manchac Bend and Missouri Bend, while documenting significant local landmarks like the Southern Helicopters Airport and the Plaquemine Sunshine Ferry Xing. Local heritage is anchored by several sites of interest for genealogists, including the Laboring Society Cem and Rock Zion Cem.
