About this map

Aragon Plantation and the village of Bourg anchor this coastal landscape where the Lafourche Parish and Terrebonne Parish lines intersect. The 1930s survey illustrates a region in transition as the Intracoastal Waterway was actively being carved through the marshy terrain. Settlement patterns strictly follow the natural levees of the bayous, with State Highway No 69 and State Highway No 80 tracing the higher ground. Local life is centered around community landmarks like St Peters Ch, St Anns Chapel, and the Bisland Cem. From the waters of Long Lake to the meandering Bayou l'Eau Bleu, the map documents the intricate network of canals and bayous, such as Petit Bayou Caillou, that dictated the agriculture and commerce of the Louisiana bayou country.
