About this map

Arnaudville and the winding course of Bayou Teche anchor this 1970 study of the Acadiana landscape. The survey documents the intricate water systems of the region, where Bayou Fusilier and Bayou Bourbeux intersect with human-engineered infrastructure like the Missouri Pacific railroad. The map reveals a transition in land use, showing traditional settlements like Leonville and Pecaniere alongside specialized agriculture, noted by several instances of a Crawfish Farm.

Cultural and community landmarks are precisely located, including the Sacred Heart Chapel and Leonville School, providing essential detail for family historians. The terrain is marked by distinct prairies and coulees, such as Prairie Des Femmes and Coulée de Marks, while the presence of the Juneau Landing Strip and a Radio Tower reflect mid-century modernization within this long-settled corridor of St. Landry Parish.
