2024 Map of Evangeline

About this map

Bayou des Cannes meanders through the heart of this Acadia Parish landscape, defining the agricultural and drainage patterns of the prairie. The settlement of Evangeline sits at a crossroads near Maumary Gully, while Millerville and Egan occupy the western and eastern reaches respectively. The map reveals a high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, such as Little Mamou Cem, Gatte Cem, and McFarlain Cem, which provide essential touchpoints for genealogical research in this part of Louisiana. The transition from the wetland fringes of Bayou Pointe Aux Loups to the cultivated fields is marked by a dense network of local roads like Mamou Prairie Rd and Vie Terre Beau Rd, reflecting the enduring rural character of the region.
