About this map

Plantation culture along the Mississippi River dominates this landscape in the early 1930s, where riverfront tracts like Oak Alley Plantation, St Joseph Plantation, and Bon Secours Plantation line the fertile levees. The transition from the elevated riverfront to the backswamp is marked by the Texas and Pacific railroad and settlements such as St James and Lagan. Inland, the terrain descends into a network of waterways including Citimahan Bayou and Bayou Chevreuil, which define the boundary between St James Parish and Lafourche Parish. Notable institutional landmarks like Jefferson College at College Point and local centers like St Lukes Ch reveal a community deeply rooted in its geography, where economic life shifts from the sugarcane fields of the riverfront to the bottomland bayous.
