About this map

Leeville sits at the intersection of water and industry in this mid-1940s survey of coastal Louisiana. The landscape is dominated by the broad course of Bayou Lafourche and an extensive Oil Field just south of the main settlement. This area represents a critical point in the state’s mid-century petroleum development, where the State Highway No 620 and a network of dredged paths like the Southwestern Louisiana Canal and William Canal facilitate movement through the marsh. A local Cem and small outposts like Grey and Lafourche appear alongside the intricate natural waterways of Greys Bayou and Bayou Moreau. The map illustrates the transition from the interior marsh to the open waters of Timbalier Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, documenting the specific coastline and drainage patterns before decades of coastal erosion.
