About this map

Bayou Lafourche serves as the central artery for this 1938 landscape, where the traditional plantation economy and burgeoning rail infrastructure intersect. The survey reveals a corridor of historical estates including Greenwood Plantation, Abby Plantation, and Laurel Valley Plantation, illustrating the persistent linear settlement pattern common to South Louisiana. The city of Thibodaux stands as the primary hub, anchored by the Texas and Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads which converge at Thibodaux Junction.
