The Webster Plantation and Melodia Plantation occupy the fertile grounds of Lafourche Parish during the early 1930s, showing a landscape defined by sugarcane agriculture and a complex network of waterways. The southern portion of the sheet is anchored by the Southern Pacific railroad and the State Highway, serving communities like Rousseau and Ewing. This era shows a transition from water-based transport to rail and road, though the Rathborn area remains dominated by the Swamp.
