About this map

The settlement of Bayou Sorrel sits at a critical junction of Louisiana's internal waterways, where the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway meets the Lower Grand River. This 2018 survey illustrates the complex hydraulic landscape of Iberville Parish, dominated by the sprawling Atchafalaya Basin Floodway to the west and a dense network of canals and bayous to the east. The map captures the interface between industrial water transit and the smaller, traditional settlements like Crescent and The Parks, which are connected by roads such as Belleview Dr and Milly Plantation Rd.

The terrain is defined by low-lying wetlands and named landforms like Big Island and Little Island, which rise from the surrounding marsh. Water management features, including Wilberts Canal, Wiseman Ditch, and Murrell Canal, crisscross the area, serving both drainage and navigation needs. This landscape is a working environment where residential life at Choctaw and along Stassi Rd exists alongside the massive scale of the Atchafalaya flood control system.
