2018 Map of Lutcher

About this map

The Mississippi River carves a deep arc through this section of the river parishes, anchoring a landscape where historical sugar culture and river transport have left a permanent mark. On the east bank, the established riverfront towns of Lutcher and Gramercy are densely gridded with neighborhood streets such as Matherne Rd and N Albert St, reflecting their growth as industrial hubs. Across the water, the Grandview Reach and Fifty-mile Point orient the rural settlements of Vacherie and North Vacherie. This survey highlights the deep ancestral roots of the area, noting numerous interment sites including the Saint Philip Cem and Mausoleum and the Western Cem. Inland from the river, the terrain shifts abruptly to the low-lying wetlands of the Maurepas basin, defined by a network of drainage infrastructure like the Tennessee Williams Canal and the natural winding course of the Blind River.
