About this map

Crowley and its immediate western prairies are defined by the intricate water management systems of Acadia Parish in the early 1980s. The landscape is a lattice of flumes, canals, and pumping stations designed to support the region's agricultural output, with Bayou Plaquemine Brule and Tortue meandering through the southern and central sections. Transportation and commerce center on the Southern Pacific railroad corridor, which links the established settlements of Estherwood and Midland. Within Crowley, the map details municipal developments like Hoffpauir Park and educational landmarks such as the SW Louisiana Voc-Tech Sch. To the south, aviation infrastructure is prominent at Le Gros Memorial Airport and the smaller Lewis Landing Strip. Local history is preserved in smaller sites like Leger Cem and Boussard Park Cem, providing essential points of reference for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of the Cajun heartland.
