The route system of St. Helena Parish, Louisiana, serves as an example in an effort to treat the route itself as a cultural landform. In the form, character, and arrangement of routes is found a complex summary of the many factors producing the landscape. The actual localization of a route is determined by physical, cultural, historical, political, and economic factors, and the route varies sensitively as each factor changes. Conversely, variations in the route can call attention to important variations in the underlying factors. In the case of St. Helena Parish. four economic phases (Hunters and Traders, Stockman Farmers, Railroads, and Automotive) are recognized and their continuing influence becomes understandable through a historical treatment. In addition, the routes are arranged in types (such as highway, road, ridgeway, loop road, and others) based upon function
