2020 Map of Larose

About this map

Bayou Lafourche serves as the primary artery for settlement in this coastal reach of Louisiana, anchoring a chain of communities including Valentine, Ludevine, and Larose. The landscape is defined by the transition from linear riverside development to the expansive wetlands and marsh systems that dominate the southern half of the quadrangle. Significant water management and transportation infrastructure is evident through the path of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Grand Bayou Canal, alongside numerous drainage features like the Forty Arpent Canal and Middle Bayou. Family and plantation history is deeply etched into the local geography, seen in road names such as Edna Plantation Rd, Bollinger Rd, and Authement Rd. These labels offer a detailed look at land division and lineage in a region where the bayou was the historic front door for every homestead.
