2018 Map of Saint Gabriel

About this map

St. Gabriel sits along a prominent bend of the Mississippi River, serving as a focal point for this landscape where industrial infrastructure and historical settlements meet the alluvial wetlands of the lower river. The map details the transition from the suburban expansion of Baton Rouge in the north, including Oak Hills Place and Village St. George, to the vast lowlands of Bluff Swamp and Spanish Lake. This southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by a complex network of waterways, including Bayou Manchac and Bayou Paul, which historically served as critical drainage and boundary markers between East Baton Rouge Parish, Iberville Parish, and Ascension Parish. Researchers can find numerous smaller communities such as Iberville, Sunshine, and Point Pleasant, alongside several burial sites like Saint Gabriel Cem and Mount Carmel Cem.
