The settlement of Jean Lafitte and the adjacent community of Barataria occupy a narrow strip of land between the marsh and the Intracoastal Waterway in Jefferson Parish. This 2018 survey reveals a landscape where human habitation is inextricably linked to the surrounding water, with residential streets like Carmelite St and Privateer Blvd following the curve of Bayou Cutler. To the west, the expansive waters of Lake Salvador dominate the territory, while the northern section is protected within the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve.
