Bayou Grosse Tete and Bayou Maringouin define the agricultural and transport corridor of this corner of the Louisiana delta at the end of the 20th century. The settlement of Maringouin serves as a focal point along the Union Pacific rail line, where traditional parish life is evidenced by numerous local landmarks like St Peter Cem and Rising Star Ch. East of the massive Atchafalaya Basin Protection Levee, the landscape is partitioned into long, narrow river lots, a legacy of French colonial land patterns.
