About this map

Bayou Lafourche serves as the central artery for this portion of Assumption Parish, where the long-lot land patterns of early Louisiana settlement remain clearly visible. The parish seat at Napoleonville is anchored by the Assumption Parish Courthouse, surrounded by established neighborhoods and religious landmarks like Saint Anne Cem. The landscape transitions from these dense riverfront settlements into an extensive network of drainage and transport waterways, including the Attakapas Canal, Magnolia Canal, and Godchaux Canal.

Genealogists will find a concentration of historic burial sites along the bayou, such as Assumption Catholic Cem in Plattenville and Saint Elizabeth Catholic Cem in Paincourtville. To the west, the terrain opens into marshy reaches punctuated by smaller communities like Brusle Saint Vincent and Westfield. The presence of the Church Spur rail line and numerous plantation-named roads like Foley Plantation Rd reflects the enduring agricultural and industrial character of the region.
