About this map

Prairie Mammou and the intricate network of coulees and gullies define this landscape in the Cajun heartland of Louisiana. The northern outskirts of Eunice and the smaller settlements of Fenris and Redland are documented here, showing a rural environment where land use follows the natural drainage of Coulee Valentine and Tiger Point Gully. The map illustrates the transition from the structured street grid of the city to a countryside patterned by parish roads and agricultural plots.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find significant value in the distribution of family-named cemeteries and landmarks across the prairie. Small burial sites including Ashford Cem, Rougeau Cem, and Fontenot Cem are scattered along the section lines, often near water features like Fred Bellow Lake. The boundary between Evangeline Parish and St. Landry Parish cuts through the center of the sheet, providing a precise record of jurisdictional lines during the mid-2010s.
