1973 Map of Lafitte
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Lafitte and the surrounding delta lowlands of Jefferson Parish and Plaquemines Parish are shown here as they appeared in the early 1970s. This orthophotomap provides a rare hybrid view of the landscape, combining traditional topographic contouring with aerial photography to reveal the intricate network of marsh, ridges, and water that defines this region. The settlement of Lafitte is clustered along the Bayou Barataria, where several family and community burial grounds including Lafitte Cem, Coulon Cem, Adams Cem, and Fisher Cem are clearly marked.
