2024 Map of Humphreys

About this map

The Intracoastal Waterway and a dense network of canals like Minors Canal and Duplantis Canal define the watery geography of this Terrebonne Parish region. This landscape transitions from the urban edge of western Houma and Hollywood to the sprawling protected wetlands of the Mandalay National Wildlife Refuge. Along the winding path of Bayou Black, historic communities such as Humphreys and Crescent remain centered on the high ground near the water's edge, where the Crescent Farm-Saint Matthews Baptist Church Cem and Saint Luke Baptist Cem provide vital touchpoints for local family history. The presence of the Kelley Oil Company and the Daneco Landing Strip underscores the industrial and logistical activities that support the region's coastal economy. To the south, the terrain opens into vast aquatic expanses like Lake Hatch and Bayou Mauvais Bois, illustrating the intricate balance between human settlement and the Louisiana marsh.
