Bayou Lafourche serves as the primary artery for settlement and commerce in this 1890 survey of the low-lying wetlands. The map illustrates a distinctive pattern of development where ribbons of dry land along the waterways host the majority of human activity, including the town of Thibodaux and smaller settlements like Labadieville and Albemarle. To the north, the Mississippi River bends past St James, showing the narrow strip of riverside development that transitions quickly into the expansive marshes and bayous such as Bayou Chevreuil and Bayou Verret.
