2020 Map of Belle Rose

About this map

Bayou Lafourche and the Mississippi River anchor this landscape, where the long-lot land patterns of the original French and Spanish colonial grants remain visible. This intricate web of narrow property lines extends from the banks of the river and bayous, particularly evident near Smoke Bend and south toward Belle Rose. The map identifies numerous religious and burial sites that serve as cornerstones for local genealogy, including Saint Francis of Assisi Catholic Cem and the First Israel Baptist Church Cem.
