About this map

Leeville Cem serves as a critical local landmark in this coastal landscape of Lafourche Parish, situated where the Old State Rte 1 meets the modern LA 1 Toll Rd. The area is defined by the intricate hydrology of the Mississippi Delta, dominated by the long north-south corridor of Bayou Lafourche and a dense network of interconnected water bodies such as Lake Jesse, North Lake, and South Lake.

The presence of the Southwestern Louisiana Canal illustrates the commercial and navigational infrastructure required for this amphibious environment. To the east, the map details a complex system of tidal bays and bayous including Bay Jaque, Bay Rambo, and Bayou Ferblanc, offering a precise view of the shoreline and marsh configurations in the early 21st century. This survey documents the transition from reclaimed lands to open water, making it a valuable tool for tracking coastal change.
