2018 Map of Cut Off

About this map

Bayou Lafourche serves as the primary axis of development for this coastal Louisiana landscape, where settlement patterns are dictated by the narrow ribbons of high ground bordering the water. In the community of Cut Off, dense residential streets like W 17th St and Providence Ave cluster along the bayou banks, connected by the Cote Blanche Bridge. Moving away from the waterway, the terrain quickly gives way to the extensive marshlands of Clovelly Farms and the intricate hydrology of the Mississippi Delta, defined by the Intracoastal Waterway and numerous natural channels including Bayou Poignard and Bayou de la Gauche. Local history is anchored by sites like the Sacred Heart Cem / Mausoleum and New Mount Zion Baptist Cem, reflecting the cultural and genealogical foundations of this Lafourche Parish region.
