The settlement of Gheens serves as the focal point of this coastal Louisiana landscape, characterized by a complex network of natural waterways and man-made canals. Transportation and drainage patterns are defined by features such as the Company Canal and the Forty-Arpent-Canal, which reflect the historical engineering required to manage the low-lying terrain of Lafourche Parish. The local economy is grounded in the extraction industry, evidenced by the presence of the Valentine Oil Field to the south.
