2018 Map of Savoie

About this map

Bayou Lafourche defines the upper portion of this coastal Louisiana landscape, where the communities of Raceland and Savoie occupy the narrow corridors of higher ground between the wetlands. The map illustrates a intricate network of water management and transportation that has shaped these parishes, from the Hollywood Canal and Bayou Cut Off to the many private lanes and plantation roads extending into the marshy interior. Local heritage is rooted in sites like Bell Baptist Church Cem, Third Zion Cem, and Saint Mary's Cem, which mark the community hubs along the bayou banks. The boundary between Lafourche Parish and Terrebonne Parish cuts diagonally across the sheet, separating Savoie from the expanding residential grid of Bayou Blue and Broadmoor.
