About this map

Carencro serves as the central hub of this 2012 survey, revealing the modern spatial organization of Lafayette Parish. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of local roads and named residential drives, such as Chris Rd and Martin Prejean Rd, which connect established settlements like Cankton, Vatican, and Ossun. The local economy is visibly shaped by energy extraction, with several specialized zones including the North Cankton Oil and Gas Field and the North Ossun Oil Field integrated into the rural-suburban fringe.

Water management and recreation also define the area, from the drainage of Coulee Mine and Francois Coulee to the open greenspace of the Wetlands Golf Course. Notable landmarks for researchers include the Evangeline Downs facility and the Green Lawn Memorial Park. The presence of the Industrial Helicopters Incorporated Airport further highlights the region's diverse infrastructure in the early 21st century.
