About this map

The intricate wetlands of Iberia Parish are defined by a complex web of waterways and energy extraction sites in this early 21st-century landscape. Central to the area's geography is the Old River and Bayou Long, which anchor a network of secondary channels such as Wildcat Bayou and Little Bayou Mallet. This period in the region's history shows significant industrial infrastructure integrated into the natural hydrology, specifically through the Bayou Postillion Oil Field and the Mystic Bayou Gas Field. Human settlement is concentrated at Population Bend, situated along a bend in the river near Levee Rd. The map also illustrates the convergence of multiple branches of the Bayou Long system, including the Middle Fork and W Fork, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns and water navigation routes like Keelboat Pass during this era.
