About this map

Bayou Lafourche serves as the central artery for this part of Lafourche Parish, dictating the development patterns of the city of Thibodaux and its surrounding lands. The map documents a landscape where traditional agricultural heritage meets modern residential expansion, evidenced by the numerous named plantation tracts that have transitioned into modern neighborhoods and commercial zones. These historic land divisions, such as Abby Plantation, Rienzi Plantation, and Greenwood Plantation, define the area's geography along the bayou's banks.

Institutional and residential hubs are prominent, including the sprawling campus of Nicholls State University and the MAX Charter School. The presence of the North Thibodaux Gas Field and South Chegby Gas Field points to the region's energy industry, while smaller communities like Naquin, Acadian Villa, and Johnson Ridge fill out the suburban corridor. Local history is anchored at Saint Johns Cem, situated near the heart of the city's street grid.
