About this map

Bayou Teche defines the cultural and industrial layout of this Iberia Parish landscape, where historical settlements and sugar-related infrastructure line its banks. The city of Jeanerette serves as the central hub, surrounded by smaller communities such as Hubertville, Loisel, and Hope. This 2015 survey illustrates how the traditional long-lot land patterns of the Acadiana region persist, with roads like Linden Plantation Rd and Old Jeanerette Rd following the natural curves of the waterway.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds across the area, including Saint Johns Cem, McGowen Cem, and Boynton Cem. The transition from the developed corridor of Jeanerette to the wetlands of Lake Fausse Pointe is marked by an extensive network of drainage channels like the Delahoussaye Canal and Jeanerette Canal, which supported the agricultural viability of the low-lying plains.
