About this map

Bayou des Cannes and Bayou Pointe Aux Loups wind through this prairie landscape on the border of Acadia and Jefferson Davis parishes. The settlement pattern is defined by a dense network of parish roads and family-named routes, including Mamou Prairie Rd and Coulee Point Rd, reflecting a deeply rooted agricultural community. Small settlements like Evangeline and Iota serve as local hubs, while smaller named locales such as Whitehouse, Millerville, and Nezpique dot the northwestern section of the survey.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous burial sites scattered across the terrain, from Riverside Cem on the western edge to Gatte Cem, Leckett Cem, and Little Mamou Cem. The presence of the Zaunbrecher Strip and landmarks like Mauman Gully further illustrate the distinct local nomenclature of this South Louisiana region, where the interplay of water and flatland has shaped the infrastructure and land divisions for generations.
