The boundary line between Lafourche Parish and Terrebonne Parish cuts across this landscape of reclaimed marsh and linear settlements. Centered on Savoie, the area demonstrates a characteristic South Louisiana drainage pattern where development follows the higher ground along Bayou Grand Coteau and the major water artery of Bayou Lafourche. This period of the mid-20th century shows the intensifying industrial footprint of the Lafourche Crossing Oil and Gas Field and the Houma Gas Field, marked by numerous drill holes and gas wells.
