Basile and Elton anchor this prairie landscape where the borders of Allen, Jefferson Davis, Evangeline, and Acadia Parishes converge. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Bayou Nezpique, Bayou des Cannes, and the Grand Marais, which historically supported both agriculture and the regional oil industry. The map reveals a high concentration of petroleum activity, with labeled fields such as the South Elton Oil and Gas Field and North Tepetate Oil and Gas Field crisscrossed by a dense web of pipelines and pumping stations.
