I want to know how this even got platted.

I think the other commenter comparing this to the Quebec/French system of land division has it right. From satellite view, you can see the distinct shape of narrow strip lots perpendicular to the flow of the Bayou Lafourche. In the distant past, waterway access then was the equivalent of truck access from the Interstate freeways today: paramount for getting goods to market.

That's what I'm screaming! There must be some weird history behind all this. I'm sure it was a wider lot in the past, but who split it lengthwise? And by 52'?!

Siblings who all wanted road access on a property divided by inheritance.

My siblings and I are trying to avoid a similar situation.

Shit, I'd gladly take one without road access.
