About this map

Bayou Lafourche serves as the central artery for this coastal landscape, where the marshlands of southern Louisiana meet the Gulf of Mexico. The settlement of Leeville is concentrated along the bayou, connected by the prominent Leeville Bridge and flanked by the Southwestern Louisiana Canal. This area illustrates the specialized infrastructure of the modern wetlands, featuring a complex network of industrial waterways such as the Flotation Canal and Havoline Canal.

Southward, the terrain transitions into the maritime hub of Pointe Fourchon and the logistics corridor of Port Fourchon. Roads like LA Hwy 1 and LA Hwy 3090 provide vital links through the fragmented land, which is defined by a maze of smaller water bodies including Hackberry Bay, Bayou Moreau, and Pearl Bayou. The map documents a landscape where traditional bayou settlements and contemporary coastal industry are inextricably linked by a shared reliance on the water.
