About this map

The Ouachita River defines the western landscape of this region, winding through a network of oxbows and bayous including Lake Catherine and Lake Lafitta. Small settlements like Logtown, Fondale, and Bosco follow the higher ground near the river and the primary north-south transportation corridor. The map reveals the intricate water management of the Louisiana lowlands, where Halfway Bayou, Petticoat Bayou, and Prairie Bayou drain toward the larger Bayou Lafourche to the east.

Local family history is anchored by several rural burial grounds such as Faulks Cem near Fondale and Cuba Cem south of Logtown. The survey captures the transition between the agricultural lands around Sugar Farm Rd and the wetland breaks like McIntyre Brake. Road names such as Logtown School Rd and Jordan Hill Rd provide evidence of early rural community centers and topographic landmarks within this delta environment.
