Long, narrow property tracts extend away from the bayou toward the wetlands in this 2018 survey of the Lafourche Parish coast. The settlement pattern follows the high ground along the water, connecting Belle Amie, Galliano, and Golden Meadow via a dense network of residential streets like W 134th St and Miracle Rd. This ribbon of development is anchored by essential community landmarks, including the Louisiana Technical College Galliano Campus and several burial grounds such as Our Lady of Prompt Succor Cem and Cheramie Cem. To the east, the South Lafourche Leonard Miller Junior Airport sits adjacent to the vast marshlands. Movement across the water is facilitated by the South Lafourche Bridge, Galliano Bridge, and the Golden Meadow Bridge, while the surrounding geography is defined by a complex hydraulic system including Breton Canal and Grand Bayou Blue.
