About this map

Plaucheville serves as the central hub of this South Louisiana landscape, defined by a complex network of bayous and drainage systems. The town is situated along the winding course of Bayou Choupique, where the Plaucheville Cem and local roads like Scallan Rd and English Rd mark the established residential footprint. To the east, the West Protection Levee runs north-south, a significant piece of infrastructure that segments the agricultural and settled areas from the low-lying wetlands.

Industry and smaller rural outposts are scattered throughout the parish, including the North Bayou Jack Oil and Gas Field and the settlement of Broussard. Transportation follows both natural and engineered lines, from Old Highway 1 near Rosewood to the many private and plantation roads such as Montchief Plantation Rd. This survey documents a region where water management, including the Choupique Canal and Bayou Jack, remains the primary factor in land use and settlement patterns.
