2020 Map of Grosse Tete

About this map

Bayou Grosse Tete serves as the central artery for this Iberville Parish landscape, winding through the settlements of Rosedale and Grosse Tete. The map captures a detailed inventory of local heritage sites, particularly concentrated around the bayou's banks where Rosedale Cem and the Episcopal Church of the Nativity Grave are located. The surrounding terrain is a network of low-lying wetlands and drainage features like Catfish Canal and Trinity Canal, reflecting the complex water management required in this Mississippi River delta region. Smaller hamlets like Slacks and Webre appear alongside significant family and community landmarks, including Mount Spur Cem and Saint Joseph Cem. The presence of several Baptist congregations, such as New Mount Olive Baptist Cem and New Light Baptist Cem, alongside established plantations like Trinity Plantation Rd, illustrates the deeply rooted social and agricultural history of the Louisiana bayou country.
