2021 Map of Lockport

About this map

Lockport serves as the focal point of this low-lying coastal landscape, where the town's development is intimately tied to the winding course of Bayou Lafourche. The community is connected across the water by the Lockport-Bayou Lafourche Bridge, while the surrounding terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways, including the Godchaux Canal and the expansive Lake Fields. To the north, Raceland Junction and Bowie indicate the area's historical transportation links, while the settlement of Godchaux reflects the deep agricultural roots of the parish. Local history is anchored by several sites of memory, such as the Holy Savior Cem and New Fountain Cem. The grid of linear roads and canals, such as Bayou Cut-Off, demonstrates how the inhabitants have systematically managed the wetlands to create established communities like Mathews and Lockport Heights.
