About this map

Bayou Teche defines the cultural and industrial geography of this St. Mary Parish landscape, its winding course lined with historic settlements like Garden City, Camperdown, and Oaklawn. The map illustrates the transition from the cultivated lands and plantation names along the bayou to the expansive wetlands of the Atchafalaya Basin Floodway. Significant family and historical sites are scattered throughout, including Stirling Cem, Oaklawn Cem, and Alto Cem.

Southern reaching infrastructure is visible via the Verdunville Canal and the eastern edge of the Bayou Teche NWR. Local connectivity is highlighted by numerous crossings such as the Oaklawn Bridge and the Willow Street Bridge in Franklin. The map also captures the sprawling nature of Sixmile Lake and the complex water systems at Cypress Pass, providing a detailed look at the parish's hydrography as it stood in the mid-2010s.
