Bayou Teche winds through the heart of St. Mary Parish, anchoring a landscape where sugarcane history meets contemporary conservation. The Bayou Teche National Wildlife Refuge now protects vast stretches of wetlands along the water, while the neighboring towns of Franklin, Centerville, and Garden City maintain their historic alignment with the bayou's course. This area is characterized by its numerous small settlements and family-named landings such as Camperdown, Oaklawn, and Irish Bend, which reflect the long-standing land divisions common in Louisiana’s Acadiana region.
