About this map

Golden Meadow Farms and the surrounding deltaic wetlands of Jefferson Parish are defined by an intricate network of natural waterways and engineered channels. This 2012 survey reveals a landscape where industry and environment converge, most notably at the Lake Enfermer Oil and Gas Field in the southeast. The geography is dominated by the transition from open water bodies like Little Lake and Brusle Lake to the narrow, winding threads of John the Fool Bayou and Bayou de Chene.

Human intervention is visible in the straight lines of the Yankee Canal and Kings Canal, which cut through the marsh near the slight elevations of Kings Ridge. These features reflect the complex water management and resource extraction history typical of coastal Louisiana. From the northern reach of Plum Point down to the southern marshes of Mink Bayou, the map documents a delicate environment shaped by both the movement of water and the footprint of industrial infrastructure.
