About this map

The Mississippi River carves a dramatic path through Iberville Parish, shaping the settlement patterns of traditional river communities like White Castle and Bayou Goula. This 2015 survey illustrates the enduring agricultural and residential layout of the region, where roads like Plantation Rd and the prominent Nottaway Plantation reflect the area's deep history. Small settlements and former plantation sites, including Tally Ho, Blythwood, and Glenmore, are situated along the natural levees, while the low-lying interior is drained by waterways such as Bayou Tigre and the Murrell Canal.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the dense concentration of religious and burial sites recorded here. From the Saint John Catholic Ch in Dorcyville to the numerous family and community resting places like Mount Zion Cem, Saint Paul Cem, and Pilgrim Cem, the map serves as a detailed guide to the cultural landscape. Smaller communities such as Bruly La Croix, Samstown, and Richland further illustrate the distribution of long-standing family settlements away from the river's edge.
