About this map

The settlement of Amelia serves as the focal point of this coastal Louisiana landscape, situated where the Intracoastal Waterway and Bayou Boeuf converge. This area is defined by its complex network of waterways and the intersection of four different parishes, including St. Mary, St. Martin, Assumption, and Terrebonne. The community infrastructure includes local landmarks such as Milton Cem and Saint Andrews Cem, while the industrial character of the region is evident in the development near Boeuf and along Ford Industrial Rd.

Navigation remains central to the region's identity, with the Lily Boom Cutoff and Alligator Bayou illustrating the intricate drainage and transit routes through the marshy terrain. Small residential clusters like Morgan City Beach and Country Village Drive contrast with the natural expanses of Avoca Island and the open waters of Lake Palourde to the northwest. This map provides a detailed view of the bayou country as it appeared in the early 21st century.
