2018 Map of Bayou Boeuf

About this map

Bayou Boeuf and its namesake settlement define this stretch of the Louisiana wetlands, where the intricate drainage of Lafourche Parish meets the St. Charles Parish line. This landscape is characterized by a dense network of watercourses and man-made waterways, including the Bowie Canal, Midway Canal, and Godchaux Canal, which reveal the intensive hydrologic management of the region's low-lying terrain. The transition from open water to marsh is visible near Lake Boeuf and the Baie Des Deux Chenes, while the Kraemer Bridge serves as a vital local landmark for navigation and crossing. To the east, the wide path of the Bayou des Allemands provides a major arterial route through the wetlands, reflecting the enduring reliance on these natural and improved channels for local transit and industry.
