PALMETTO BAYOU (Coulee La Tanier) is properly named from the many palmetto

that still line its banks today.  Its beginning is in Section 40, T8S-R4E, 

and flows in a southeast direction through Sections 41, 42, 43, and 44 of

T8S-R4E.  This bayou is the first one to cross after turning left off of

State Highway 16 in French Settlement on the Bayou Barbary Road which is

La. Hwy. 444. --- Lucille Cooper
