Bayou Lafourche dictates the settlement pattern of this coastal Louisiana landscape, where narrow strips of development follow the high ground along the water. The communities of Lockport, Mathews, and Raceland are linked by the Southern Pacific railroad and a network of canals, reflecting an economy built on water transport and natural resource extraction. The interior is dominated by the Raceland Oil and Gas Field and expansive wetlands leading toward Lake Fields.
