About this map

Eunice and the surrounding prairie of south-central Louisiana are defined by a complex network of bayous and agricultural development. The boundary between Evangeline Parish and St Landry Parish cuts across a landscape dominated by the Missouri Pacific railroad line, which anchors the city's southern edge. Numerous small family cemeteries like Rougeau Cem, Fontenot Cem, and Ashford Cem are scattered across the rural sections, offering significant data for genealogical research in this Acadiana region.

Energy infrastructure is prominent, with various Gas Wells and a Compressor Station supporting the local economy alongside traditional farming. Natural drainage is dictated by features such as Des Cannes and Tiger Point Gully. Small communities and named locales including Duralde, Fenris, and Redland provide a detailed look at the settlement patterns north of the main city center before modern suburban expansion.
