About this map

Bayou Lafourche bisects this landscape, serving as the central axis for the historic city of Thibodaux and its surrounding agricultural reaches. The map documents a classic South Louisiana settlement pattern where large holdings like Laurel Valley Plantation, Rienzi Plantation, and Abby Plantation extend back from the bayou's natural levees into the low-lying wetlands of Devil Swamp. This 2020 record illustrates the modern academic and civic footprint of the area, anchored by Nicholls State University and the Lafourche Parish Courthouse Annex.

Genealogists will find a dense concentration of burial sites including Saint Joseph Cem and the Moses-Allen Chapel Calvary Cem. The inclusion of the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve highlights the intersection of cultural heritage and environmental conservation in Lafourche Parish. Further south, the junction at Lafourche Crossing marks the transition toward Acadia and Johnson Ridge.
