About this map

The prairie and marshland of the Acadiana region define this 2020 landscape, centered on the community of Basile. Situated along the boundary of Evangeline and Acadia parishes, the town's grid is anchored by family and religious sites like Saint Augustine Catholic Cemetery and Assumption Cemetery. This area reflects the rural aviation and agricultural infrastructure of modern Louisiana, evidenced by specialized facilities such as the Lejeune Aerial Applications Airport and Millers Flying Service.

Beyond the central town, the landscape transitions into a network of drainage channels and bayous, including Bayou Barwick and Berwick Creek. These waterways thread between smaller crossroads and historic locales such as Tepetate, Redich, and Unatex. For genealogists, several rural burial grounds are documented, including Langley Cemetery and Reed Cemetery, providing precise locations for tracing family heritage within these parish lines.
