2018 Map of Crowley West

About this map

The western edges of Crowley and the surrounding Acadia Parish prairie are defined by a mix of agricultural gridwork and sprawling drainage systems. Small settlements like Estherwood and Tortue sit along the central transportation corridor, while Midland and Morse anchor the western and southwestern reaches. The landscape is heavily influenced by water management for rice farming, evidenced by the presence of the Lazy Point Canal and the natural winding path of Coulee Triet. Infrastructure for aviation is a notable characteristic of this area, with both Le Gros Memorial Airport and the smaller Lejeune Airport serving the region. For genealogists and local historians, the Leger Cem in the northwest and family-named thoroughfares such as Sensat Cove Rd and Ben Sensat Rd provide important markers of the local community and land ownership patterns.
