About this map

Golden Meadow anchors the northeastern corner of this coastal Louisiana landscape, situated along the narrow corridor of Bayou Lafourche. This mid-century survey illustrates the intense intersection of natural wetlands and industrial expansion, dominated by the Golden Meadow Oil and Gas Field. The map reveals a complex web of waterways, from major outlets like Grand Bayou Blue and Bay Courant to smaller named features such as Chinaman Bayou and Bayou Pete de Ours. Local history is captured in the placement of the Sunnyside Cem and a Water Tank near the northern settlement. To the south, the terrain dissolves into the open waters of Lake Raccourci and Little Lake, separated by a labyrinth of marshes, passes like Chinois Pass, and secluded basins including Coal Tar Bay and Jean Plaisance Bay.
