About this map

The Boeuf River carves a highly sinuous path through this section of Caldwell Parish, creating a complex landscape of oxbow lakes, sloughs, and brakes. In the settlement of Hebert, local history is rooted near the riverbanks, where the Hebert Cem and a Po serve as central community markers. Further south, Hebert Landing indicates the historical importance of the river for transport and access.

The surrounding terrain is defined by its water-rich geography, featuring numerous named cutoffs and basins such as Woolen Lake, Plum Thicket Lake, and the winding Bayou Lafourche. These features, along with smaller landmarks like Etier Cem and Girod Cem, provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing family locations near the water’s edge. The dense network of local roads, including Wheeler Bend Rd and Templeton Bend Rd, follows the irregular contours of the river's many loops.
