2018 Map of Maringouin

About this map

Bayou Grosse Tete defines the eastern corridor of this Iberville Parish landscape, where the settlement of Maringouin serves as a local hub. The map reveals a dense concentration of cultural and genealogical sites, particularly along Bayou Rd, where numerous historic congregations and burial grounds like Immaculate Heart of Mary Cem and Greater Bethany Baptist Cem are situated. Further south, the communities of Musson and Ramah flank the waterway, while the western portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the complex hydrology of the Atchafalaya Basin Floodway. This area is marked by a network of smaller streams including Bayou Black, Dixie Bayou, and Bayou Blue. The presence of features such as Tight Island and Big Island within the Des Glaises Swamp illustrates the seasonally saturated nature of this lowland environment. Transport infrastructure, from Railroad Dr to the modern span of Interstate 10 crossing near Des Glaise, highlights the region's role as a transit point between the basin and the capital region.
