2024 Map of Lafitte
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
Jean Lafitte and the surrounding marshlands of the Jefferson Parish coastline reveal a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways and early bayou settlements. This recent topographic record highlights the proximity of the Mississippi River to the inland basins, where communities like Jesuit Bend, Ollie, and Gloria line the river's western bank. The interior is a maze of essential transit routes such as the Fleming Canal, Bayou Cutler, and Bayou de Fleur, which cut through the wetlands of Ile De Barataria. Family history is deeply rooted in this terrain, as evidenced by the numerous small burial grounds along the ridges, including Little Village Cem, Adams Cem, and Fisher Cem. The map illustrates the fragile balance between human habitation and the shifting waters of Barataria and its many connected bayous.
