The Atchafalaya Basin Floodway dominates this landscape, where the shifting boundaries of St. Martin Parish and Iberia Parish intersect in a complex network of wetlands and waterways. The map documents a labyrinth of distributaries and backwaters, including the notably named Four Hundred Dollar Bayou and the winding Big Gonsoulin Bayou. Human presence is defined by structural constraints, specifically the Levee Rd which cuts a straight line through the swampy terrain to manage the flow of the basin.
