About this map

Bayou Sorrel sits at a critical junction of water and industry within the Iberville Parish wetlands, where the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway meets the Lower Grand River. This 1990s-era landscape is defined by the massive infrastructure of the Atchafalaya Basin Floodway and its accompanying Protection Levee, designed to manage the region's complex hydrology. The settlement pattern follows the higher ground along the bayous, evidenced by clusters of spiritual life like St Catherine Laboure Ch and Beam of Life Ch. Economic activity is driven by extensive energy extraction, with the Sullivan Lake Oil and Gas Field and Crescent Oil Field dominating the interior. Traces of earlier transit survive in the Old RR Grade and the Indian Mound Cem, providing a window into the long-standing human presence among the crawfish ponds and bottomlands.
