2018 Map of Evangeline

About this map

Evangeline and the surrounding prairies of Acadia Parish reveal a landscape defined by its rural road grid and quiet burial grounds. This 2018 survey documents a region where agriculture and local commerce intersect, most notably at the Di's Cajun Restaurant Airport and the settlement of Millerville. The terrain is drained by the meandering Bayou Pointe Aux Loups and Maurian Gully, which cut through the strictly rectilinear property lines. For family historians, the map is an essential resource for locating smaller, family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including Little Mamou Cem, Gatte Cem, and Riverside Cem. These sites, along with the Zaunbrecher Strip near Iota, offer a clear picture of the community’s development and its persistent French-Acadian heritage in the modern era.
