About this map

Bayou Teche defines the economic and geographic spine of this South Louisiana landscape, its winding course lined with historic settlements like Loisel, Hubertville, and the city of Jeanerette. This 1990s perspective shows the enduring footprint of the sugar industry and water-based commerce, with numerous canals such as the Sandager Canal and Delahoussaye Canal cutting through the lowlands toward Lake Fausse Pointe.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of parish-line cemeteries and family-named locales, including Boynton Cem, Bayside Cem, and McGowan Cem. The transition from the dense industrial and residential corridor of the bayou to the expansive Iberia Oil and Gas Field and the surrounding marshland illustrates the complex land use of the Iberia and St. Mary Parish border region during the late twentieth century.
