About this map

Bayou Lafourche serves as the primary artery for settlement through this section of Lafourche Parish, dictating the linear development of communities like Lockport and Mathews. This 2015 survey reveals the intricate network of water and infrastructure that defines the region, including the Lockport Company Canal Bridge and the Lockport Bayou Lafourche Bridge. The landscape is a complex weave of natural bayous and engineered waterways, such as the Godchaux Canal and Bayou Cut-Off, which navigate the low-lying terrain surrounding Lake Fields.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the residential layouts of Raceland and smaller hamlets like Godechaux, Lewistown, and Clotilda. The map identifies local landmarks essential for family history research, including New Fountain Cem and Hadley Cem. From the rail junction at Raceland Junction to the remote edges of Bayou Grand Coteau, the map preserves the modern footprint of these historic Acadian corridor settlements.
