2024 Map of Basile

About this map

Basile serves as the primary hub of this Southwest Louisiana landscape, where the agricultural traditions of the prairie meet the drainage networks of the gulf coastal plain. The town's grid is established north of the parish line, featuring a cluster of local landmarks including the Saint Augustine Catholic Cem and Assumption Cem. The surrounding countryside is defined by its aviation and water history, with Lejeune Aerial Applications Airport and Millers Flying Service supporting the local rice and crawfish industry. Small settlements like Tepetate, Redich, and Unatex are scattered across the terrain, linked by a dense network of local roads such as Tee Mamou Rd and Beau Chene Rd. The map meticulously details the meandering courses of Bayou Barwick and Berwick Creek, which cut through the level fields and timbered draws that define this section of the Acadiana region.
