2020 Map of Eunice South

About this map

Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve anchors the northern portion of this landscape, situated within the city of Eunice along the boundary of St. Landry and Acadia Parishes. The region exhibits a transition from urban street grids to a sprawling agricultural and wetland mosaic to the south. Educational and transportation infrastructure is prominent, including the Louisiana State University Eunice campus and the Eunice Airport. Further south, small agricultural communities like Frey, Mowata, and Bates appear alongside family and parish landmarks. The land is marked by numerous burial sites, such as the Riche Herbert Fuselier Dupre Cem and Mowata Saint Lawrence Catholic Cem, reflecting deep-rooted local heritage. Water features like Ruppert Lake and Richards Gully break up the cultivated fields, while the transition between Evangeline, St. Landry, and Acadia parishes highlights the political geography of this prairie region.
