2018 Map of Duson

About this map

Duson and its surrounding prairie landscapes sit at the intersection of Lafayette, Acadia, and Vermilion Parishes in this detailed contemporary record. The area is defined by its agrarian roots and the winding course of the Bayou Queue De Tortue, which meanders across the southern half of the quadrangle. Significant local history is preserved in small rural settlements and cemeteries, including the Indian Bayou Cem and Indian Cem near the southern boundary, as well as Bethel Cem located near the center of the township. In the north, the transport and commerce of the region are reflected in the development of Scott and the proximity to the Phoenix Airport. The map highlights a transition from the structured street grids of established towns to the expansive rural road networks that serve the unincorporated communities of Sadou and Ridge, providing a clear view of the modern infrastructure and legacy landmarks of this part of Acadiana.
