2015 Map of Gray

About this map

Magnolia Plantation, Rebecca Plantation, and Minerva Plantation reflect the deep agricultural heritage of this region on the border of Lafourche Parish and Terrebonne Parish. The landscape is a intricate network of waterways and drainage, defined by the winding paths of Little Bayou Black, Ouiski Bayou, and Bayou Terrebonne. The settlement pattern follows these watercourses and the industrial corridor of the BNSF Railway, with residential clusters such as Schriever, Gray, and Ellendale serving as focal points for local history. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, including Magnolia Cem, Garden of Memories Cem, and Saint Francis Cem. From the northern reaches near the Thibodaux Municipal Airport to the southern neighborhoods of Broadmoor and Cypress Gardens, this survey provides a contemporary look at the evolving land use in the Louisiana bayou country.
