About this map

The agricultural and civic heart of Acadia Parish is centered on Crowley and Rayne, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of parish roads and irrigation channels. The Acadia Parish Courthouse stands as a central landmark in Crowley, while the nearby Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem and Woodlawn Cem provide significant points of interest for local genealogical research. To the east, Rayne is anchored by the Saint Joseph Catholic Church and its associated Saint Joseph Cem.

The terrain is marked by the winding courses of Bayou Queue de Tortue and Indian Bayou, which form the natural boundaries between Acadia, Lafayette, and Vermilion Parishes. Evidence of the region’s aviation and agricultural infrastructure is found at K-John Airport and Hains Airstrip. Smaller settlements like Ebenezer remain vital hubs in the prairie, surrounded by family-named landmarks and cemeteries such as Ebenezer Cem and Leger Cem that speak to the long-standing community ties in this coastal plain.
