2012 Map of Latanier Bayou

About this map

Florence Landing sits at the eastern edge of a highly engineered landscape defined by an extensive drainage and irrigation network in Vermilion Parish. This 2012 survey illustrates how the coastal prairie has been partitioned by features like the Gueydan Canal and numbered arteries such as Canal Number Ten. The industrial footprint of the region is evident through the Southwest Gueydan Gas Field and Cameron Canal Gas Field, while localized landmarks like Deer Island and Gueydon Cem provide anchor points for family historians. The grid of parish roads, including Parish Road 110 and Ellis Bridge Rd, traces the boundaries of agricultural and extraction tracts typical of the Louisiana wetlands. This map provides a clear record of the intersection between the energy industry and the managed water systems of the lower bayou country.
