About this map

Bayou Lafourche dictates the layout of the landscape in this section of Assumption and Lafourche Parishes, where settlement and commerce historically clung to the fertile riverbanks. This 2020 map documents the persistent identity of numerous named plantations, including Cedar Grove Plantation, Saint Rose Plantation, and White Plantation, which define the agricultural boundary between the river and the surrounding marshy Lowlands. The town of Labadieville serves as a central hub, anchored by the Saint Philomena Cem and connected to nearby hamlets like Chula and Freetown.

The map's detail reveals the long-lot land divisions characteristic of Louisiana's French heritage, with narrow strips extending away from the bayou. Significant water features like Bayou Boudreaux and Nerville Bayou crisscross the low-lying terrain, while the north is marked by industrial remnants such as the Supreme Sugar Pond near the community of Supreme. This view captures the area's transition from traditional plantation tracts to modern residential clusters like Morvant and Laurel Grove.
