2020 Map of Dulac

About this map

Bayou Grand Caillou and the massive Houma Navigation Canal dominate this wetland landscape, illustrating the critical water-management and navigation infrastructure of modern coastal Louisiana. The settlement of Dulac serves as a hub for the surrounding marshlands, with residential development tightly clustered along narrow corridors like Shrimpers Row and Grand Caillou Rd. The map is particularly notable for its density of family and community burial grounds, including the Célestin Garden-of Memory Cem, Saint Michael Saint Luke Cem, and Holy Family Cem Number 1. These sites, along with others like the Grand Caillou Baptist Cem, provide vital genealogical anchors in a region where the land itself is increasingly defined by water bodies such as Lake Boudreaux and Lake Gero. The transition from established settlements like Theriot to the open expanse of Hog Point reflects the persistent human presence within the Terrebonne Parish wetlands.
