2012 Map of Pierre Part

About this map

The low-lying Atchafalaya Basin landscape of Assumption Parish is defined by a dense network of bayous and canals surrounding the northern reaches of Lake Verret. The settlement of Pierre Part serves as the primary hub, where residential streets like Phillip St and Reno St follow the narrow ridges of dry land adjacent to Bayou Pierre Part. This region is a significant center for energy extraction, as evidenced by numerous named petroleum sites including the Grosbec Bayou Gas Field, Bayou Saint Vincent Gas Field, and East Lake Verret Gas And Oil Field. Further south along the banks of the Belle River lies the community of the same name, anchored by the Sacred Heart Ch Cem. The intricate hydrology, featuring Little Grand Bayou and Old River, illustrates the complex relationship between the area's residents and the water that both supports and isolates their communities.
