2024 Map of Hathaway

About this map

Agricultural patterns and a dense network of parish roads define this landscape in the Acadiana region. Small settlements like Panchoville, Raymond, and Hathaway serve as focal points for a rural community where land is meticulously divided by drainage features and access routes. The hydrography of the area is dominated by the meandering course of West Bayou Grand Marais and the Middle Bayou Grand Marais, which are supplemented by man-made improvements such as the Tiptop Canal. Family legacies are preserved across the landscape in the form of small burial grounds, including Bertrand Cem, Doucet Cem, and Miller Cem. The transition from the wetlands of Gum Gully to the upland farms is reflected in the layout of roads like Grand Marais Rd and Litteral Rd, illustrating how the physical geography of Jefferson Davis Parish has dictated the development of its transportation and residential networks.
