2018 Map of Forked Island NW

About this map

Low-lying marshlands and structured drainage systems characterize this 2018 coastal landscape in Vermilion Parish. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Intracoastal Waterway and the Warren Canal, where the terrain transitions into the wetlands surrounding Pine Island. This area highlights the critical water management and transportation infrastructure necessary for life in the Louisiana wetlands, with numerous north-south canals like the Maree Michel Canal and Robins Canal cutting through the agricultural parcels. Family heritage is deeply rooted in the local geography, visible through landmarks such as the Marceaux Cem and Broussard Cem. The grid of rural roads, including Saltzman Rd and Len Guidry Rd, reflects a history of divided land tracts and small-scale aviation at Tee Brad's Airport.
