About this map

Leeville and its surrounding marshlands in Lafourche Parish are defined by an intricate network of waterways and heavy industrial activity at the close of the 20th century. The landscape is crisscrossed by numerous pipelines and extensive energy infrastructure, including the Bayou Ferblanc Oil Field and the Leeville Oil and Gas Field. This industrial presence is balanced against the conservation efforts seen in the Wisner Wildlife Management Area. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of family-named landmarks and burial sites, such as the Cheramie Cem and Griffith Cem, alongside the distinctive Smith Mem Shrine. The presence of a Floodgate and the transition of the marsh emphasize the ongoing struggle between human engineering and the shifting coastal environment of Bayou St Denis.
