2015 Map of Hebert

About this map

Hebert and its surrounding alluvial landscape are defined by the complex meanders of the Boeuf River and Bayou Lafourche. This region, where Caldwell, Richland, and Franklin Parishes meet, features a distinctive drainage pattern of sloughs and oxbow lakes, such as Woolen Lake, Horseshoe Lake, and Plum Thicket Lake. The map reveals a rural settlement pattern centered on the town of Hebert, with several family-associated landmarks like Hebert Cem, Etier Cem, and Girod Cem providing valuable points of reference for local history. The road network, including names like Wheeler Bend RD and Puckett Bend RD, follows the sinuous path of the river, reflecting how the local hydrology has historically dictated movement and land use throughout this portion of the Louisiana delta.
