Bayou Lafourche winds along the northern edge of this map, defining the historic settlement pattern of Raceland and its surrounding agricultural fields. The landscape is a complex network of wetlands and waterways, where natural distributaries like Bayou Blue and Bayou Grand Coteau intersect with engineered features like the Hollywood Canal. This transition from the natural bayou system to organized drainage is evident in the alignment of roads such as Ariel Plantation Rd and Raceland Stockyards Rd. For genealogists and local historians, the map is a dense record of community landmarks, including the Saint Louis Catholic Cem and Saint Mary's Cem. From the residential neighborhoods of Broadmoor and Bayou Cane to the open expanses of Theriot Field, this survey captures the evolving border between Lafourche Parish and Terrebonne Parish.
