About this map

Bayou Teche and the Lower Atchafalaya River converge in this corner of St. Mary Parish, defining the industrial and transportation network of Patterson. The town’s history with aviation and energy is clearly marked by the Harry P Williams Memorial Airport and the neighboring Patterson Oil and Gas Field, while the Aquatic Aviation Seaplane Base on the river indicates the local importance of water-based transport.

South of the main settlement, a complex web of waterways including Bethel Bayou and Maple Bayou meanders toward the marshlands, punctuated by small outposts like Possum Point. The map also captures the local recreation and residential expansion at The Atchafalaya at Idlewild Golf Course and established neighborhoods like Bayou Vista and Lagonda, showing how the community has integrated with the bayou landscape.
