About this map

Golden Meadow Farms sits at the heart of this coastal landscape, where the reclaimed marshland of Jefferson Parish and Lafourche Parish is defined by a complex network of drainage and transport. The map reveals the intricate water management required for early 20th-century agriculture and settlement in the wetlands, dominated by the Raphael Canal and Yankee Canal. These man-made waterways cut across natural features like Kings Ridge and the winding West Fork Bayou L'ours. To the north, the transition from marsh to open water is marked by large basins including Round Lake, Brusle Lake, and the expansive Little Lake. Local navigation is characterized by distinctively named reaches such as The Fool and Kings Bayou, illustrating how early residents and engineers navigated and reshaped the bayou country.
