2012 Map of Lower Vacherie
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
North Vacherie and its surrounding agricultural corridor define this landscape in the Mississippi River delta region of St. James Parish. The map reveals a distinct settlement pattern where traditional landholdings like Southdown Plantation, Webre Steib Plantation, and Golden Star Plantation sit amidst a complex network of waterways and drainage canals. These plantations, along with communities such as Lower Vacherie and South Vacherie, are situated on the higher ground of the natural levee, transitioning into the sprawling wetlands of the south. Beyond the residential and agricultural zones, the geography is dominated by a labyrinth of bayous, including the prominent Bayou Chevreuil and Bayou Piquant, which flow toward the expansive Lac des Allemands. The integration of energy infrastructure is evident through the Citamon Bayou Gas Field and Lower Vacherie Gas Field, highlighting the region's industrial ties to the Louisiana marshland.
