2015 Map of Abbeville West

About this map

Vermilion River and a dense network of drainage infrastructure define this part of Vermilion Parish, where the western reaches of Abbeville give way to agricultural lands and small settlements. The landscape is etched with complex water systems, including the Abbeville Canal, Noel Canal, and Sorbet Canal, which supported the region's historic rice and sugarcane economies. To the south, the settlement of Theall sits near Briggs Cem, while the town of Perry is marked by the Perry Bridge and the Perry-O'Bryan Cem. This 2015 survey provides a meticulous record of local family-named landmarks and cemeteries, such as Hebert Cem and Nunez Cem near Nunez. The transition from the urban grid of Abbeville, featuring landmarks like Saint Mary Magdalen Cem, to the wide expanses near Bull Hole Canal illustrates the enduring connection between the parish and its managed waterways.
