2018 Map of Bayou Cocodrie

About this map

Greenwood sits at the northern edge of this coastal landscape, where the land begins its transition into the dense marsh and waterway systems of Terrebonne Parish. The area is defined by a complex network of natural and engineered water features, including the Intracoastal Waterway and the expansive Lake Hackberry. These channels have long dictated the movement of people and commerce through the Louisiana wetlands. South of the settlement, the terrain is dominated by the winding path of Bayou Cocodrie and the straight lines of the Copasaw Canal and Huth Canal, reflecting the ongoing efforts to manage water for transport and industry. The presence of Ringo Cocke Canal and Bayou Black near the developed corridor along Bayou Black Dr highlights the narrow strip of habitable ground that parallels the region's historic bayous.
