2012 Map of Saint Gabriel

About this map

Spanish Lake and its surrounding wetlands dominate the southeastern landscape of this region, illustrating the intricate hydrology of the area near the Mississippi River. In the town of Saint Gabriel, the landscape is defined by its deep ties to the river, marked by the Point Pleasant Ferry Landing and a cluster of historic burial sites such as Saint Gabriel Cem and Saint Raphael Cem. To the north, the transition from rural land to suburban development is evident in the dense residential neighborhoods like Saint George and Oak Hills Place that have emerged near the Bayou Fountain corridor. This 2012 survey also captures the persistent industrial presence in the parish, from the Burtville Oil Field to the LSU Ag Sta research facilities, alongside recreational spaces like the Saint Marie Golf Course and the Interstate Landing Strip near Kleinpeter.
