2012 Map of Pointe a la Hache
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
Pointe à la Hache and its surrounding riverbank settlements define this 2012 landscape along the Mississippi River in Plaquemines Parish. The map reveals a high concentration of family and community burial sites, including Nero Cem, Woodland Cem, and Saint Paulinus Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogists. Industrial activity is prominent through numerous revetments and energy sites like the Pointe A La Hache Oil and Gas Field and Magnolia Oil and Gas Field. Beyond the levee, a complex network of waterways including Back Levee Canal, Bayou Grande, and Grand Bayou segments the low-lying terrain. Smaller hamlets like Barthelemy Settlement, Bohemian, and Beshel are connected by narrow lanes and river-paralleling roads, reflecting a settlement pattern strictly dictated by the delta's hydrology.
