2018 Map of Addis

About this map

Plaquemine and the surrounding Iberville Parish landscape are defined by a complex network of man-made canals and ancient bayous in this 2018 survey. The intersection of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and the Port Allen Canal highlights the region's importance to modern maritime commerce, while the winding course of Bayou Plaquemine and Bayou Jacob reflects the older, natural drainage patterns of the low-lying delta. Settlement is concentrated along the higher ground of the river levees and former plantation lands, notably at Addis and Chenango. The map documents significant local landmarks such as the Myrtle Grove Plantation and several burial sites including Grace Memorial Park Cem and Little Zion Church Cem. This contemporary view provides a baseline for understanding the evolving water management and land use near the West Baton Rouge Parish line.
