About this map

False River defines the northern reaches of this landscape, its distinctive oxbow curve lined with several historic settlements including Jarreau, Oscar, and Ingleside. This riverfront alignment follows the traditional long-lot pattern typical of Louisiana bayou country, where narrow ribbons of land provided water access to numerous families. Moving south from the river, the terrain transitions into a web of drainage bayous and drainage canals, including Bayou Sterling and Bayou Fusilier, which support the agricultural and industrial activities of the region.
