About this map

Bayou Teche defines the northern edge of this coastal landscape, winding past the town of Patterson and smaller riverfront settlements like Calumet and Avalon. This modern survey reveals a region defined by the intersection of traditional waterways and industrial infrastructure, where the Intracoastal Waterway and the Lower Atchafalaya River converge south of Berwick. The geography shifts from the developed corridors along Route 90 to the vast wetlands of the Atchafalaya Basin Floodway.

South of the main settlements, a complex network of channels including Bethel Bayou, Big Bull Bayou, and Little Wax Bayou permeates the marshy terrain toward Possum Point. The map also details local aviation history at the Harry P Williams Memorial Airport and the expanding residential footprints of Bayou Vista and Lagonda, providing a clear record of St. Mary Parish at the start of the twenty-first century.
