About this map

Hathaway and the surrounding prairie of Jefferson Davis Parish appear here in a landscape defined by water management and rural education. The network of the Irrigation Canal and smaller branches cuts across the traditional section lines, illustrating the region's historical reliance on flooding for rice cultivation. Local social centers are anchored by the Grand Marais Sch and Crochet Sch, while the small settlements of Raymond and Panchoville serve as the primary hubs in this agricultural expanse. Along the eastern boundary, the wandering course of Nezpique Bayou and Acadia Bayou provides a sharp contrast to the rigid grid of the township system. The survey also captures the seasonal drainage patterns of Grand Marais Bayou and Gum Gully, highlighting the hydrologic complexity of the Louisiana coastal plain before modern large-scale development.
