1947 Map of Evangeline
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Evangeline and the surrounding prairie of Acadia Parish center this 1940s landscape, where a sophisticated water management system supported the region's agricultural transition. The map reveals an extensive network of artificial waterways, including the Irrigation Canal No 370 and Riverside Irrigation Canal No 371, which cut across the natural meanders of Bayou des Cannes and Bayou Nezpique. These canals illustrate the massive engineering effort required to reclaim the land for rice cultivation or other large-scale farming during the mid-twentieth century.
