About this map

Indian Bayou and Bayou Queue De Tortue define the drainage and settlement patterns across this section of Acadia Parish, where the traditional agricultural landscape intersects with a dense network of energy production. The town of Duson serves as a central hub, flanked by smaller communities and historic intersections such as Sadou, Judice, and Ridge. For genealogists and local historians, several family-named landmarks and burial sites are documented, including Anderson Cem, Bethel Cem, and Indian Bayou Cem.

The prominence of the petroleum industry is evident through numerous active areas such as the Southeast Rayne Gas Field, West Ridge Oil and Gas Field, and Duson Oil and Gas Field. These industrial sites sit alongside regional aviation facilities like Phoenix Airport and Gladney Airport, reflecting a modernized prairie landscape. The map provides a detailed view of the evolving infrastructure in this part of Acadia Parish, from the winding watercourses to the grid of secondary roads like Quarter Pole Rd and Toby Mouton Rd.
