2020 Map of Abbeville East

About this map

Abbeville stands as a primary hub in this portion of Vermilion Parish, where the winding Vermilion River and Valcourt Coulee define the drainage of the coastal prairie. The landscape transition from the developed streets of the parish seat to the agricultural expanses of Grosse Isle and Henry is marked by a network of drainage systems, including the Grant Line Canal and Youngs South Coulee. Local history is deeply etched into the land through numerous small burial grounds and family-named landmarks like Graceland Cem, the Delino Family Cem, and Primeaux Cem. Transportation and commerce are centered around the Abbeville Chris Crusta Memorial Airport and the corridor connecting Erath and Delcambre, reflecting the area's continued reliance on both its waterways and its highway infrastructure. The map also documents smaller rural communities such as Youngs, Mack, and Boston, which maintain distinct identities within the broader alluvial plain.
