2018 Map of Lone Star

About this map

Lone Star and Goldridge anchor the northern landscape of this South Louisiana quadrangle, where the cypress swamps and marshes of the Atchafalaya Basin meet the intricate waterways of Iberville, Assumption, and Iberia Parishes. The terrain is defined by a dense network of sluggish bayous and chutes, including Chopin Chute, Bayou Tigre, and the winding False Br Bayou. To the south, the settlements of Bayou Corne, Grand Bayou, and Pierre Part sit at the edge of more open waters like Lake Natchez Pass and Bay Natchez. The influence of the energy industry is visible through infrastructure such as Shell Oil Field Rd, while the agricultural and residential patterns of the region are traced along routes like Ridge Rd and Richland Rd. This map captures a complex wetland environment where land use is dictated by the shifting boundaries of water and swamp.
