2015 Map of Delcambre

About this map

Jefferson Island and Avery Island anchor the landscape of this coastal Louisiana region, standing as salt domes that rise above the surrounding marshes and lowlands. These features are geographically distinct, with Avery Island featuring a cluster of named water bodies including Willow Pond, Hayes Pond, and Blue Pond. The mapping captures a network of small settlements such as Derouen, Brousville, and Santiague connected by rural roads and the Jefferson Canal. Near the town of Delcambre, which straddles the Vermillion Parish and Iberia Parish line, the map details local infrastructure such as the Miguel Cem and Railroad Rd. The intricate hydrology of the area is defined by numerous coulees and canals, including Hayes Coulee and Badeaux Coulee, which illustrate the complex drainage patterns essential to this low-lying territory as it was documented in the mid-2010s.
