1963 Map of St. Gabriel
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The Mississippi River defines the western edge of this landscape, where the fertile alluvial plain meets the complex wetlands of Bluff Swamp and Spanish Lake. The settlement of St. Gabriel anchors the riverfront, accompanied by the sprawling Louisiana Prison Farm Camp M and several local landmarks including the St Raphael Cem. Inland, the economy of the early 1960s is marked by the St Gabriel Gas and Oil Field, while the Illinois Central Railroad and numerous bayous like Bayou Manchac and Bayou Paul dictate the movement of goods and people across parish lines.
