1994 Map of Leeville

About this map

Bayou Lafourche serves as the central artery for this coastal landscape, where the town of Leeville and its associated industrial infrastructure define the local economy. The Leeville Oil and Gas Field dominates the northern section, evidenced by a dense network of radio towers, substations, and a Heliport that support offshore and marsh operations. A small Cem near Leeville provides a point of interest for genealogists tracing local families in this specialized maritime environment. Further south, Pointe Fourchon marks a critical transition towards the Gulf of Mexico, with the Port Fourchon Water Tank anchoring a region defined by man-made waterways like the Louisiana Canal and Flotation Canal. These canals reveal the extensive engineering required to navigate and extract resources from the shifting marshlands between Timbalier Bay and Lake Laurier.
