2012 Map of Melville
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
The Atchafalaya River defines the western edge of this landscape, its banks marked by the grid of Melville and the nearby Melville Crevasse. This river-bottom environment is dominated by the vast Morganza Floodway and a complex network of bayous, including Bayou Latenache, Johnson Bayou, and Cowhead Bayou. The presence of the Morganza Gas Field and Ravenswood Oil Field reflects the industrial activity woven into the agricultural character of the region.
