About this map

Leeville serves as the primary hub of this coastal marshland, where the burgeoning petroleum industry is represented by a prominent Oil Field just west of the town. The landscape is a intricate lattice of natural waterways and man-made infrastructure, centered on the dominant north-south passage of Bayou Lafourche. This waterway is paralleled by the early road network and the Southwestern Canal, highlighting the area's dual reliance on marine and terrestrial transport during the mid-1930s. Smaller settlements like Grey and Lafourche appear as quiet outposts along the bayous, punctuated by a local Cem that provides a tangible link for genealogical research. The map captures the delicate environment where the Gulf of Mexico meets interior basins like Timbalier Bay and Hackberry Bay, all interconnected by vital arteries such as the Panama Canal and William Canal.
