2015 Map of Kraemer

About this map

Melodia Plantation and the surrounding agricultural tracts define this 2015 layout of the Louisiana lowlands, where the land-water boundary is perpetually blurred. The landscape is structured by a network of drainage channels and historic routes, including the Laurel Valley Canal and Halpin Canal, which support the sugar and rice heritage of the Lafourche Parish region. Small settlements like Kraemer and Choctaw sit north of the major waterway of Bayou Lafourche, while names like Saint Charles and Rousseau line the southern corridor along Highway 308. The map demonstrates the unique hydrology of the area, featuring Lake Boeuf and a complex system of bayous such as Grand Bayou and Bayou L'Ours. For researchers, these modern surveys preserve the names of plantation-era roads like Ariel Plantation Rd and Melodia Plantation Rd, tracing the evolution of family lands into the current century.
