2020 Map of Saint Gabriel

About this map

The Mississippi River winds along the southwestern corner of this coastal plain landscape, where historical river settlements like St. Gabriel and Point Pleasant contrast with the modern expansion of Baton Rouge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways including Bayou Manchac, Bayou Paul, and the extensive Bluff Swamp that feeds into Spanish Lake. This era shows significant suburban growth in the north, evidenced by residential tracts in Oak Hills Place and Village St. George, while the southern reaches maintain their rural and aquatic character. Genealogists will find several burial grounds preserved here, including Saint Gabriel Cem and Mount Carmel Cem, which serve as markers for long-established communities along the river's edge.
