2020 Map of Madewood

About this map

Bayou Lafourche anchors this stretch of Assumption Parish, where a dense network of settlements traces the historic corridor of the waterway. Linear communities such as Madewood, Rosedale, and Ingleside are concentrated along the western edge, reflecting a land-use pattern dictated by the natural levees. East of these settlements, the landscape transforms into a complex drainage system of canals and bayous, including Baker Canal East and Bayou Verret, which penetrate the expansive lowlands. The presence of numerous named roads like Rosedale Rd and Woodlawn Rd suggests the enduring footprint of former plantation boundaries. Near the southern border, the settlement of Albemarle and the winding Bayou Petit Chackbay mark the transition toward the wetlands of Lafourche Parish, illustrating how regional hydrology continues to shape Louisiana's parish lines and habitable spaces.
