1998 Map of Lockport
USGS Topo · Published 2000About this map
Bayou Lafourche anchors the settlement pattern of this coastal Louisiana corridor, where ribbon-like communities follow the higher ground along the banks. In the late 1990s, the landscape from Raceland down to Lockport illustrates a transition from industrial hubs to residential pockets. The central Bayou Cutoff and a network of drainage structures, including numerous Pumping Stations and the Forty Arpent Canal, manage the water for the surrounding lowlands. This survey documents the local infrastructure of the era, from the Raceland High Sch and the Assembly of God Ch to the expansive Lake Fields and Grand Bayou to the west. The layout of Mathews, Clotilda, and Lockport Heights reveals how historical land grants and the sugar-cane-derived settlement patterns persisted even as modern industrial features like the Oil and Gas Field and Waste Ponds were established.
