2024 Map of Eunice North

About this map

Mamou and northern Eunice anchor this detailed survey of the coastal prairie region where Evangeline and St. Landry Parishes meet. The landscape is defined by a dense network of coulees and gullies, such as Coulee Valentine and Fontenots Gully, which drain the open agricultural expanses of Prairie Mamou. This region is characterized by small, family-associated burial grounds scattered across the countryside, including Rougeau Cem, Miller Cem, and Fontenot Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted genealogical heritage of the Acadiana prairie. The map captures the modern road grid including Oberlin Rd and Reeton School Rd, interspersed with significant tracts of the Farm Service Agency Interest of Louisiana. The inclusion of Fred Bellow Lake and numerous drainage canals illustrates the intensive water management required for the local rice and crawfish farming traditional to this part of Louisiana.
