2018 Map of Gheens

About this map

Gheens serves as the central hub of this coastal Lafourche Parish landscape, where the intersection of Gheens Main Rd and Sugar Mill Rd reflects a local economy historically tied to the land. The community is defined by a dense network of waterways and drainage infrastructure, with the Company Canal and Forty Arpent Canal cutting through the wetlands. These engineered channels exist alongside winding natural features like Bayou Vacherie and Petit Bois Bayou. The residential layout is clustered along specific corridors such as Cypress Villa Ln and N Leon Dr, while the surrounding geography is dominated by vast marshlands. Notable bayous like Bayou Chateau de Cypre and Bayou Matherne snake through the terrain, illustrating the delicate balance of habitation and water management in this low-lying region.
