1983 Map of Carencro
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Carencro serves as the central hub of this South Louisiana landscape, where the agricultural traditions of Lafayette Parish meet the emerging industrial energy of the early 1980s. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage network, including Bayou Carencro and Coulee des Cannes, which historically dictated the placement of small prairie settlements. This era shows a significant intersection of transport and extraction, with the Southern Pacific railroad cutting north-south through the parish line near several expansive energy deposits like the Shuteston Oil and Gas Field and the Vatican Oil and Gas Field.
