2012 Map of Broussard

About this map

Broussard and its surrounding communities are defined by a complex network of waterways and infrastructure in this early 21st-century landscape. The Vermilion River and Evangeline Canal anchor the drainage patterns of the region, while the Cypress Island Oil and Gas Field indicates the ongoing industrial importance of the terrain. The map details the transition from the aviation hubs of Lafayette Regional Airport and Spillers Club Airport to the smaller settlements of Billeaud, Pilette, and Elks. Suburban expansion is visible through an extensive grid of residential roads, yet the presence of Lake la Pointe and Bayou Teche reflects the enduring natural hydrology of Lafayette Parish. Local recreation is represented by Les Vieux Chenes Municipal Golf Course, highlighting the mix of civic development and natural bayous that characterize this portion of southern Louisiana.
