The low-lying wetlands of Jefferson Parish and Plaquemines Parish converge at the Barataria Bay Waterway, where the settlement of Lafitte serves as a hub for the bayou-bound landscape. This modern survey illustrates the complex hydraulic network of the Mississippi River Delta, including man-made channels like the California-Company Canal and Ollie Canal that cut through the surrounding marsh. For local historians, the concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Coulon Cem and Adams Cem, provides a map of established lineage within the Barataria and Ile De Barataria area.
