About this map

Bayou Lafourche anchors this portion of Assumption Parish, serving as the primary corridor for a string of settlements including Bertie, Woodlawn, and Ingleside. The landscape is a complex network of plantation-era infrastructure and modern energy extraction, where drainage features like Baker Canal East and Bayou Verret intersect with industrial sites such as the West Burton Gas Field and Coteau Frene Oil and Gas Field.

Evidence of the region's agricultural heritage remains prominent through labels like Cedar Grove Plantation Pond and roads such as MBC Plantation Rd. The settlement pattern follows the high ground along the bayou, while the interior is dominated by a grid of canals and rural tracts. Local aviation history is noted by the presence of Dons Flying Service Airport near Madewood, and the southern end of the map traces the residential development of Albemarle.
