1998 Map of Golden Meadow
USGS Topo · Published 2000About this map
The linear settlement pattern of the Louisiana coast is strikingly visible along Bayou Lafourche, where narrow ribbons of land support a dense corridor of communities including Galliano and Golden Meadow. This 1998 survey illustrates the precarious balance between human habitation and the surrounding wetlands, with an extensive Levee system protecting homes and industry from the encroaching waters of the Pointe Au Chien State Wildlife Management Area and various marshy bayous. The map records a landscape heavily influenced by resource extraction, dominated by the Bully Camp and Gas Field and the Catfish Lake Oil and Gas Field. For genealogists, the map is a vital resource, precisely locating several family-named burial grounds such as Hébert Cem, Cheramie Cem, and Pitre Cem that serve the local parish population.
