2018 Map of Abbeville East

About this map

The Vermilion River snakes through the southwestern corner of this Vermilion Parish landscape, defining the rural character of the region just east of Abbeville. The area is a mosaic of agriculture and small settlements, including Grosse Isle, Mack, and Henry, connected by a network of farm-to-market roads like LA Highway 82. The map reveals the critical importance of drainage in this low-lying coastal prairie, marked by numerous coulees such as Youngs South Coulee and Laports Coulee. For genealogists and local historians, several family-named burial sites are preserved here, including the Trahan Cem, Bares Cem, and Landry Cem. Industry and infrastructure are anchored by the Abbeville Chris Crusta Memorial Airport and the neighboring towns of Erath and Delcambre to the east.
