Houma sits at the vital junction of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Houma Navigation Canal, serving as the urban hub for a landscape defined by its intricate network of bayous and man-made waterways. This survey illustrates the dense development of the city center near the Terrebonne Parish Courthouse, radiating out along historic arteries like Main St and W Park Ave. The geography of the surrounding parish is traced by the winding paths of Bayou Terrebonne and Bayou Grand Caillou, where development follows the higher ground of natural levees.
