2015 Map of Lutcher

About this map

The Mississippi River defines the landscape of this river parish survey, where the deep curve of Grandview Reach and the prominent Fiftymile Point shape the orientation of the surrounding settlements. Historic riverfront communities such as Lutcher, Gramercy, and Paulina line the northern bank, while Vacherie and Oubre occupy the southern shore. The map illustrates a dense concentration of local heritage sites, including the Saint Joseph Cem, Saint Phillips Cem, and Antioch Cem. Beyond the levee-side developments, the terrain transitions into a complex network of waterways and industrial infrastructure, characterized by the Colonial Canal, Hope Canal, and the Tennessee Williams Canal to the north. Further inland, the swampy reaches of the Blind River and Tchackehou Bayou highlight the low-lying nature of the St. James and St. John the Baptist Parish boundary lands.
