1963 Map of St. Gabriel
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
St Gabriel and the surrounding river lands are defined by the winding course of the Mississippi River and the complex drainage of the Bluff Swamp during the early 1960s. The landscape is a transition from the agricultural and institutional activity near the river—including the Louisiana Prison Farm Camp M—to the dense network of bayous like Bayou Manchac and Bayou Paul that carve through the parishes of East Baton Rouge, Iberville, and Ascension. A strong rail presence is evident with the Illinois Central running parallel to the river and the Kansas City Southern cutting across the northern reaches near Siegen. Industrial development is noted by the St Gabriel Gas and Oil Field, while local spiritual and community life is anchored by several country churches, such as St Joseph Ch and Mt Carmel Ch, and the St Raphael Cem.
