2024 Map of Lake Laurier

About this map

The Mississippi River meanders along the northeastern edge of this coastal landscape, where the primary human settlements of Harlem, Bellevue, Nero, and Deer Range are clustered along its banks. This 2024 map documents a geography defined by the transition from the river's high ground to the expansive wetlands of the delta, where the Jefferson Parish and Plaquemines Parish boundary cuts through a maze of waterways. In the interior, the Wilkinson Canal and Deer Range Canal strike straight lines across the sinuous natural paths of Bayou Dupont and Oaks Bayou, illustrating a long history of water management and access in the Louisiana marsh.
