1998 Map of Bay Courant

About this map

Golden Meadow stands at the eastern edge of this coastal landscape, where human habitation and industrial infrastructure meet the labyrinthine wetlands of southern Louisiana. This late-century survey captures a complex environment defined by energy extraction, with the Golden Meadow Oil and Gas Field and Northwest Leeville Gas Field established amidst the interlaced waterways of Bay Courant and Lake Raccourci. The map documents a fragile terrain where numerous bays, such as Lacroix Bay and Laurier Bay, are punctuated by industrial platforms and access points like Chinaman Bayou and Chinois Pass. Small details of local heritage are preserved in the margin of the marsh, including the Surgney Cem near the Canal and the winding course of Grand Bayou. This view of Lafourche Parish illustrates the delicate balance of the coastal economy and the fluid nature of the Gulf geography.
