1927 Map of Thibodaux NW
USGS Topo · Published 1927About this map
Bayou Lafourche anchors the western edge of this territory, where the complex transition from cultivated riverfront land to dense swampland is clearly documented. The landscape is defined by long, narrow land grants stretching away from the water, a signature of French colonial settlement patterns that persisted into the early 20th century. Clusters of activity are centered around plantation-era names like Madewood, Elmfield, and Ingleside, while the interior remains a vast expanse of cypress and gum swamp dominated by Bayou Verret and Bayou Traverse. Social infrastructure for these rural communities is recorded through features like the St Thomas Sch, Woodlawn Ch, and Mt Campbell Ch. The engineering efforts of the State of Louisiana Board of State Engineers are visible in the drainage network, including the Cancienne Canal, designed to manage the delicate hydrology of the Assumption Parish basin.
