2024 Map of Forked Island NW
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
The Intracoastal Waterway cuts through this landscape of low-lying wetlands and agricultural tracts in southwest Louisiana. The map reveals a highly structured drainage and transport network, dominated by north-south corridors like Meridian Line Rd and engineered waterways including Maree Michel Canal, Robins Canal, and Warren Canal. Family history is deeply etched into the geography through numerous named rural roads and small burial grounds. Genealogists can identify localized landmarks such as Saint Davids Chapel Cem, Marceaux Cem, and Broussard Cem. The southernmost portion of the sheet transitions into the marshy terrain of Pine Island, illustrating the complex relationship between coastal Louisiana's inhabited lands and its vast water management infrastructure.
