About this map

Bayou Lafourche serves as the primary artery for settlement in this part of Assumption Parish, where the towns of Napoleonville, Paincourtville, and Plattenville follow the river's winding path. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of drainage and transport canals, including the Magnolia Canal, Armelise Canal, and Attakapas Canal, which support the region's agricultural and industrial infrastructure. The presence of the Louisiana State University Agricultural Complex near Ratliff underscores the area's ongoing commitment to land management and cultivation.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by landmarks such as the Christ Episcopal Cem and Evening Star Cem. The transition from riverfront communities to more remote industrial outposts is visible in the placement of the Ratcliff Oil and Gas Field and the East Lake Verret Gas and Oil Field. Smaller named locales like Little Texas, Cancienne, and Brusle Saint Vincent reflect the long-standing French-influenced settlement patterns that characterize this Bayou Country terrain.
