2020 Map of Pigeon

About this map

The Atchafalaya Basin Floodway dominates this watery landscape of Iberville Parish, where the settlement of Pigeon sits along the banks of the Lower Grand River. This 2020 survey reveals the complex drainage network of south Louisiana, featuring numerous named waterways such as Bayou Teche, Big Bayou Pigeon, and Bayou Postillion. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the critical transit corridor of the Intracoastal Waterway, leading down to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway in the southern reaches. Small clusters of development at Choctaw and Pumpkin Point are linked by local routes like Bayou Pigeon Rd and La 997. The map illustrates how human habitation is concentrated on the high ground of the natural levees, surrounded by a labyrinth of swamps and bayous that cross parish lines into St. Martin, Iberia, and Assumption.
