About this map

Bayou Lafourche anchors the settlement of Cut Off in this 2012 survey of the southern Louisiana coastal landscape. The region's intricate relationship with water and industry is evident in the dense network of waterways like the Scully Canal and Raccoon Bayou that cut through the low-lying marshes. The local economy and transportation infrastructure are defined by a mix of traditional agriculture at Clovelly Farms and Delta Farms, alongside modern energy production in the Larose Oil and Gas Field and Bayou Poignard Gas Field.

Genealogists and local historians can locate family landmarks such as the Mount Zion Cem and Lange-Calahan Cem. The map also captures specialized aviation facilities including the Clovelly Farms Seaplane Base, Clovelly Airport, and Ledet Airfield, illustrating how this amphibious environment is navigated. Points of connection like the Cote Blanche Bridge provide vital links across the bayous and canals that define the parish's topography.
