2015 Map of Johnson Bayou

About this map

Johnsons Bayou occupies a strategic stretch of chenier plain along the southwest Louisiana coast, where a series of elevated ridges rise above the surrounding wetlands and marshes. These geological formations, including Smith Ridge, Coon Ridge, and Hackberry Ridge, provide the foundational ground for settlements and cemeteries that define the local cultural landscape. For genealogists, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds such as Smith Ridge Cem, Peveto Cem, and the uniquely named Head of the Hollow Cem.
