1998 Map of Des Allemands
USGS Topo · Published 2000About this map
Petit Lac Des Allemands and its surrounding wetlands define this landscape where St. Charles Parish meets Lafourche Parish. The community of Des Allemands sits at a critical choke point of the Bayou Des Allemands, while to the north, the settlement of Paradis and its adjacent refinery represent the area's industrial footprint. The map reveals an intricate network of drainage canals, numbered sequentially from Canal No 3 to Canal No 24, which crisscross the low-lying terrain to manage water for both agriculture and oil exploration. Deep in the marsh, the Bayou Des Allemands Oil and Gas Field is marked by a series of oil wells and drill holes. Local landmarks such as the Great Antioch Ch and Bayou Gauche Cem provide touchstones for genealogical research in these bayou communities.
