About this map

The winding Bayou Teche defines the cultural and industrial corridor of this mid-century Louisiana landscape, flanked by the sprawling wetlands of the Atchafalaya Basin. Along this historic waterway, settlements like Franklin and Centerville thrive amidst a complex network of sugar plantations and early industry, evidenced by landmarks such as Oaklawn Manor and Camperdown. The survey captures a high density of community centers, including St John Ch & Cem and Oaklawn Ch & Sch, reflecting the deep-rooted genealogical history of St. Martin and St. Mary Parishes.
