2020 Map of Barataria
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
The low-lying wetlands of Jefferson Parish are dominated by the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve and a complex network of waterways that define the region's geography. The settlements of Lafitte, Barataria, and Isle Bonne are clustered along the banks of Bayou Cutler and Bayou Villars, where the land yields to the expansive waters of Lake Salvador and the Intracoastal Waterway. This survey documents a landscape of salt marshes and tidal channels, providing essential details for genealogical research through its mapping of local burial grounds, including Greater Saint John Baptist Cem, Saint Anthony Cem, and Fleming Cem. The intricate pattern of bayous like Bayou Perot and Bayou Rigolettes illustrates the maritime-dependent nature of these communities, where roads such as Privateer Blvd and Church St follow the narrow natural levees.
