About this map

The winding course of Bayou Teche defines the cultural and industrial layout of this Iberia Parish landscape, where the city of Jeanerette serves as the primary hub of activity. The map illustrates a dense network of sugarcane plantations and small settlements such as Loisel, Hubertville, and Hope that flank the bayou, connected by the historic route of La 182. This corridor is punctuated by numerous local burial grounds including Saint Johns Cem and McGowen Cem, which provide significant anchor points for genealogical research in the region.

To the north and east, the terrain transitions into the wetlands surrounding Lake Fausse Pointe, crisscrossed by drainage and navigation features like the Butte Canal and Tete Bayou. Further south, the Le Maire Memorial Airport and the community of Patoutville mark the continued development of the area away from the river banks. The map also captures the boundary between Iberia Parish and St. Mary Parish, showcasing the complex irrigation and canal systems like the Delahoussaye Canal that support the local agricultural economy.
