About this map

Leeville serves as the primary hub of activity in this coastal Lafourche Parish landscape, situated along the vital corridor of Bayou Lafourche. The geography is a complex network of natural waterways and industrial interventions, where the Southwestern Louisiana Canal and Milliets Canal cut through the marsh toward Hackberry Bay. An Oil Field north of the main settlement underscores the emergence of the petroleum industry in the mid-20th century. Local family history is rooted near the Cem and the small landing at Grey. The transition from freshwater bayous like Bayou Moreau and Bayou Cochon to saltier reaches like Timbalier Bay and the Gulf of Mexico illustrates a landscape defined by its precarious relationship with the rising tide and shifting silt.
