About this map

Bayou Grosse Tete and the Intracoastal Waterway define the hydraulic landscape of this region during the early 1960s, where the natural watercourses of the Atchafalaya Basin meet industrial infrastructure. Significant agricultural heritage is evident in the presence of Myrtle Grove Plantation, Star Plantation, and Enterprise Plantation, marking the enduring influence of the plantation economy on the Iberville Parish landscape. The settlement patterns follow the ridges and rails, with Rosedale and Grosse Tete serving as key nodes along the Texas and Pacific railroad line.
