Bayou Lafourche serves as the primary artery for settlement and industry in this portion of the Louisiana wetlands. The long-lot property patterns common to the region are visible as they extend from the bayou's banks, particularly near Valentine and Ludevine. These narrow strips of land facilitated access to the water for transport while allowing for agricultural development in the fertile alluvial soil.
