1995 Map of St. Gabriel

About this map

The Mississippi River forms the southwestern boundary of this landscape, where the fertile bottomlands of the Lower Mississippi Delta meet the developing southern reaches of Baton Rouge. This survey captures a region defined by its complex drainage network, including Bayou Manchac and Bayou Paul, which historically served as vital corridors through the low-lying terrain. The transition from the urban periphery of Kleinpeter to the agricultural and institutional lands further south is evident, particularly with the sprawling grounds of the Hunt Correctional Center and the Louisiana Correctional Institute For Women.
