1998 Map of Larose
USGS Topo · Published 2002About this map
Bayou Lafourche serves as the primary artery for settlement and commerce in this deltaic landscape, with the town of Larose marking a significant junction where the river meets the Intracoastal Waterway. The settlement pattern follows the high ground along the natural levees, featuring established communities such as Valentine, Ludevine, and Norah. Genealogical interest is found at the Griffin Cem and the Seventh District Sch, which serve the local residents living among the complex network of artificial and natural channels like the Forty Arpent Canal and Portuguese Bayou. The surrounding marshlands are defined by extensive petroleum exploration, evidenced by numerous Oil Wells and Drill Holes, while the southern reaches transition into the protected habitat of the Pointe Aux Chenes State Wildlife Management Area.
