About this map

The town of Basile anchors the northwest corner of this prairie and bayou landscape, where the traditional land divisions of the Louisiana countryside meet the modern agricultural grid. This survey marks the intersection of Evangeline Parish, Acadia Parish, and Jefferson Davis Parish, illustrating a complex network of rural roads such as W Railroad St and Alfa Romeo Rd. The terrain is defined by slow-moving waterways like Bayou Barwick and Berwick Cr, which snake through the flatlands toward Mitchell Lake.

Genealogists will find significance in the presence of the Langley Cem and Reed Cem, which represent the deep-rooted family histories of this Acadiana region. Smaller communities and rural hubs like Tepetate, Redich, and Unatex are clearly identified, alongside specialized local landmarks such as Millers Flying Service. The map captures the transition from town streets like Ford Ave to the wide expanses of the coastal prairie.
