1962 Map of Labadieville

About this map

Bayou Lafourche anchors this mid-century landscape, carving a path through the heart of the sugar belt where agricultural and industrial legacies converge. The settlement of Labadieville sits at the center of a dense network of plantation tracts, including Cedar Grove Plantation, Dixie Plantation, and St Rose Plantation. These estates, marked by their characteristic long-lot boundaries, transition from the high ground of the levee into the low-lying backswamps of the Chagahoula Canal and Bayou Boudreaux.
