2015 Map of Broussard

About this map

The Vermilion River and Bayou Tortue weave through the heart of this Acadiana landscape, defining a region where urban expansion meets historic watercourses. In the southwest, Broussard and Youngsville show significant suburban development, while the northern reaches maintain a more open character near Larabee and Ruth. The presence of the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve highlights the area's ecological and cultural importance. Regional infrastructure is anchored by the Lafayette Regional Airport, with aviation history further represented by smaller sites like Spillers Club Airport. Water management and drainage are evident through features such as the Evangeline Canal and Ruth Canal, which connect to natural features like Lake la Pointe. This map documents a transitional period as the Lafayette metro area extends toward established settlements like Billeaud and Pilette.
