About this map

Bayou Lafourche anchors this coastal landscape, where the ribbon of State Highway No. 620 traces the high ground of the natural levee. In this mid-century environment, human presence is concentrated along this narrow corridor, marked by intermittent Cem sites and structures that represent the interface between the dry ridge and the surrounding wetlands. To the east and south, the terrain dissolves into an intricate network of open water and marshy passages, including the Southwestern Canal and Mink Bayou. This survey reveals the complex drainage patterns of the delta prior to extensive modern alterations, showing the reliance on natural waterways like Bayou Ferblanc and Bayou Pierre Et Lee for navigation and drainage. Shallow basins like Round Lake and Lake Jesse break the marsh, illustrating the fluid boundaries of the Louisiana coast.
