2020 Map of Delcambre

About this map

The salt domes and marshes of the Louisiana coastline define this area, where Jefferson Island and Avery Island rise as distinct topographic and cultural landmarks. These geologic features are central to the region's identity, surrounded by a complex network of coulees and canals like Badeaux Coulee and the Delcambre Canal. The town of Delcambre sits at the western edge, a hub for local industry and transport along the BNSF Railway. Numerous small settlements such as Derouen and Brousville are scattered across the landscape, often identified by family-named landmarks and cemeteries including Landry Cem and Broussard Cem. The landscape shows a deep history of Catholic and Baptist community roots, visible in the Saint Marcellus Catholic Cem and Star Temple Baptist Cem. The southern reach is dominated by wetlands and named water bodies like Willow Pond and Saline Wood Pond, illustrating the intricate hydrology of Iberia and Vermilion Parishes.
