2015 Map of Napoleonville

About this map

Bayou Lafourche defines the eastern corridor of this Assumption Parish landscape, where the settlement of Napoleonville serves as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural and industrial networks. The map reveals an intricate system of drainage and transport canals, including the Attakapas Canal, Godchaux Canal, and Whitmel Canal, which support the low-lying terrain west of the bayou. These waterways are interspersed with small communities and former plantation sites like Elm Hall, Enola, and Glenwood. Genealogy and local history are anchored by landmarks such as Christ Episcopal Cem and Evening Star Cem. The presence of the Church Spur rail line and numerous named landings and junctions, such as Elm Hall Junction, underscores the area's historical reliance on both rail and water for moving the region's agricultural output during the early 21st century.
