2012 Map of Breaux Bridge

About this map

The winding course of Bayou Teche defines this landscape, where the traditional Acadiana settlement patterns of the early twenty-first century meet the heavy footprint of the energy industry. Breaux Bridge serves as the primary hub, with local geography further marked by smaller communities like Gecko and Bushville. The southern portion of the map is dominated by extensive petroleum infrastructure, specifically the Anse La Butte Oil and Gas Field and the East Anse La Butte Oil Field, illustrating the economic drivers of the region. Drainage and navigation are central to the terrain, evidenced by the Magenta Canal and numerous coulees such as Coulee Crocodrie. Cultural landmarks, including the Saint Bernard Cem and the Optimist Boys Camp, provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of Lafayette Parish and the surrounding bayou country.
