2018 Map of Duralde

About this map

Allen and Evangeline Parishes meet along a meandering wetland border defined by the winding course of Caney Cr. This part of Southwest Louisiana is characterized by a dense network of local roads and bayous that supported a rural agricultural economy. Small settlements like Hampton and Duralde serve as anchors for the surrounding family farms, while the presence of the Cezar Cem and Veillon Cem suggests long-established local lineages. The landscape is heavily influenced by its hydrography, with the Grand Louis Bayou and Coulee Valentine cutting across the terrain, creating a complex system of drainage and natural boundaries that historically dictated property lines and transportation routes.
