  • Water Quality Monitoring in the Bayou Teche Watershed
    Water Quality Monitoring in the Bayou Teche Watershed Researchers: Dr. Whitney Broussard III Dr. Jenneke M. Visser Kacey Peterson Mark LeBlanc Project type: Staff Research Funding sources: Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, Environmental Protection Agency Status: In progress Summary The historic Bayou Teche is an ancient distributary of the Mississippi River. Some 3,000-4,000 years ago, the main flow of the Mississippi River followed the Bayou Teche waterway. This explains the long, slow bends of the small bayou and its wide, sloping banks. The Atákapa-Ishák nation named the bayou “Teche” meaning snake because the course of the bayou looked like a giant snake had laid down to rest, leaving its mark on the land. Many years later, the first Acadians arrived in Southwestern Louisiana via Bayou Teche. They settled along its banks and used the waterway as a means of transportation and commerce. The bayou remains to this day an iconic cultural figure and an important ecological phenomenon. Several modern events have reshaped the quality and quantity of water in Bayou Teche. After the catastrophic flood of 1927, the United States Congress authorized the US Army Corps of Engineers to create the first comprehensive flood management plan for the Mississippi River. One important element of this plan was the construction of the West Atchafalaya Basin Protection Levee, which, in conjunction with the East Protection Levee, allows the Corps of Engineers to divert a substantial amount of floodwaters out of the Mississippi River into the Atchafalaya Spillway, and away from major urban centers like Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

The Charenton Bridge (Bridge Recall No. 008970) is located at latitude 29.825298 north, longitude - 91.537959 west.1 The coordinate represents the center of the bridge. It was obtained in 2016 by plotting its location in Google Earth. The location has no restriction on its release to the public. Present Owner: State of Louisiana. Present Use: Vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Significance: The Charenton Bridge is significant as an important example of a distinctive truss type. The bridge’s significant design feature is its K-truss configuration, characterized by the arrangement of vertical and diagonal members to form a “K” in each truss panel. The K-truss is a rare variation both nationally and in Louisiana, where there are only three extant examples of the bridge type.2 The Charenton Bridge retains good integrity and clearly conveys the significant design features of the through K-truss. It was determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) in 2013 under Criterion C: Engineering at the state level of significance.3 Historian(s): Angela Hronek, Cultural Resource Specialist, and Robert M.

  • St-Landry-Parish.Pdf
    Welcome to St. Landry Parish Bienvenue a la paroisse de Saint Landry Welcome to St. Landry Parish, where accordions are cool, boudin is hot and history is not just in textbooks. Our festivals celebrate art, blues, Cajun music, catfish, cracklins, etouffee, herbs, spices, yams and zydeco. Cook-offs and trail rides aren’t called festivals, but they are filled with just as much music, food and fun. Mardi Gras can be a parade with floats and beads, or a chicken chase on horseback that ends with a community gumbo. Horses and jockeys show their athleticism at a “racino,” a thoroughbred and quarter horse racetrack and casino where you can try your luck on the slot machines. History not only lives in museums and antique markets, but the plantations, schools and churches that have stood for centuries. St. Landry Parish’s rich culture and history come from the diverse people who have called it home. Cajun, Creole, French, African, Spanish, Italian and Native American people have mixed and matched here for almost three centuries. Those influences give St. Landry Parish music, food and culture that few can match. Opelousas, the parish’s largest city, is the Zydeco Music Capital of the World. Clifton Chenier, the King of Zydeco, Rockin’ Sidney of “Don’t Mess with My Toot Toot” fame and Terrance Simien are Grammy-winning zydeco musicians and parish natives. Cajun music thrives at local jam sessions and the Saturday night Rendez-vous des Cajuns, an all-French radio and TV music program at the historic Liberty Theatre in Eunice. Flavorful Cajun and Creole cuisine is plentiful in settings ranging from a stick-to-your-ribs plate lunch at a grocery store deli or truck stop to candlelight dining in an age-old restaurant.

This report details the results of research and analysis of remote sensing data for an area of approximately 25 acres south of Morgan City along the south bank of Bayou Boeuf at a point where it enters Berwick Bay in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana. Earth Search, Inc. (ESI), was contracted by the New Orleans District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (NODCOE), to conduct background research and analyze side-scan sonar, magnetometer, bathymetry, multi-beam swath sonar data for the study area, which is near to the NODCOE's maintenance dredging area in Bayou Boeuf where it enters Berwick Bay. The dredging, which has been ongoing since 1973, now appears to be very close to a possible historic shipwreck, possibly that of the USS Kinsman.

  • The Atchafalaya National Heritage Area
    The Atchafalaya National Heritage Area Selected Level 0 Cultural Landscape Assessments 2010 Suzanne Turner Associates, LLC Consultant for Historic Landscapes 635 Louisiana Avenue, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802 Suzanne Turner, FASLA John Welch, RLA Nick Musso, ASLA This study was initiated by the State of Louisiana, Department of Culture, Recreation, and Tourism, in order to fulfill federal mandates related to funding and designation of the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area. Debra Credeur, Executive Director of the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area spearheaded the selection of the cultural resources that were surveyed, in order to represent the region in areal extent, cultural resource type, and importance of the different resources in the basin. The primary resources for the site selection process were 1) the National Park Service Cultural Landscape Management Guideline, and 2) a Heritage Resource Screening Process used by a similar heritage area with an approved Management Plan. This process selects resources under the broader categories of cultural, historical, natural and recreational, which is consistent with our enabling legislation, and then breaks these categories down further into themes. The National Park Service Planning Team then consulted with the State of Louisiana Architectural Historian and National Register Coordinator to select National Historic Landmarks and other cultural landscapes that reflect heritage area themes. Effort was made to have all types of landscapes represented as well as all 14 parishes. The individual assessments will be used as references for similar types of resources for projects in the future. Suzanne Turner Associates was contracted to conduct a “Level 0” assessment of selected properties within the Atchafalaya National Heritage Area, and to document the basic history of the site, construct a bibliography and partial literature review for each subject property, and document existing threats to the cultural assets of the region.
