About this map

Bayou Lafourche anchors this coastal Louisiana landscape, showing a dense network of water management and petroleum extraction in the early 21st century. The geography is defined by the winding bayous and man-made waterways like the Hollywood Canal and Card Canal, which facilitate both drainage and industry. Energy production is a central theme, evidenced by the Lafourche Crossing Oil and Gas Field, Willow Woods Gas Field, and Northeast Houma Gas Field situated among the residential pockets of Savoie and Broadmoor.

Local history and genealogy are preserved in the various small burial grounds such as Third Zion Cem, Bell Cem, and Saint Marys Cem that sit alongside early plantation roads. The transition from agricultural roots to modern recreation is visible near the Colonial Acres Golf Course, while the Theriot Field Airport serves the region's transport needs. This survey effectively documents how the residential expansion of Lafourche Parish integrates with its legacy of bayou-dependent commerce and resource harvesting.
