2012 Map of Amelia

About this map

Bayou Boeuf and Bayou L'Ourse define the intricate landscape of this St. Mary Parish corridor, where the energy industry and traditional bayou settlements converge. The area is anchored by the community of Amelia, situated near a network of water-based transportation hubs including the Amelia Airport and the specialized Bayou Boeuf Seaplane Base. This 2012 survey documents the extensive industrial infrastructure of the region, specifically the East Lake Palourde Oil and Gas Field and the Amelia Gas Field. Local genealogy is well-represented through markers such as Saint Andrews Cem and Milton Cem, while the complex drainage patterns of Alligator Bayou and Bayou Black illustrate the low-lying terrain typical of the Acadiana region. Residential clusters like Zacarter, Ursa, and Morgan City Beach are shown tucked between the heavy industrial sites and the banks of Lake Palourde.
