Lower Vacherie and its surrounding sugar country are the focus of this landscape, where the long-lot ribbon farm patterns of the Mississippi River backlands meet the sprawling wetlands of the upper Barataria Basin. The map records the cultural footprint of the late 20th century atop a much older agricultural foundation, clearly delineating the Webre Steib Plantation, Southdown Plantation, and Golden Star Plantation. These holdings transition from cultivated fields into the intricate hydrology of the swamps, defined by Bayou Chevreuil and the Dredge Boat Canal.
