2015 Map of Duson

About this map

Rayne and Duson anchor this 2015 study of the Louisiana prairies where Acadia and Lafayette parishes meet. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Bayou Queue De Tortue, which forms a significant natural boundary across the southern portion of the quadrangle. Agricultural patterns dominate the terrain, interspersed with local landmarks like Phoenix Airport and the smaller settlements of Judice, Ridge, and Sadou. Cultural history is preserved at sites such as Anderson Cem and Bethel Cem, which sit among a dense network of country roads including Quarter Pole Rd and Toby Mouton Rd. The map illustrates the contemporary expansion of these Acadiana communities while maintaining the traditional drainage patterns established by Indian Bayou.
