2012 Map of Humphreys

About this map

Humphreys and the surrounding coastal landscape of Terrebonne Parish are defined by an intricate network of waterways and industrial infrastructure. The settlement pattern follows the natural levees of Bayou Black and Little Bayou Black, where communities like Crescent, Waterproof, and Mandalay are linked by the Southdown Mandalay Rd. This era of the region's history is heavily influenced by the energy sector, evidenced by numerous production areas such as the Orange Grove Oil and Gas Field and the Sunrise Oil and Gas Field. To the south, the terrain transitions into the wetlands of Lake Hatch and Bayou Mauvais Bois, revealing the precarious balance between human habitation and the deltaic environment. Notable landmarks including Huffaker Field Airport and the historic Orange Grove Plantation name-site provide specific points of interest for local historians and researchers studying the evolution of land use in southern Louisiana.
