About this map

The Jennings Oil and Gas Field dominates the southern landscape of this Acadia Parish map, reflecting the area's long-standing reliance on petroleum extraction. This industrial hub is situated near Evangeline, where a network of pipelines and transmission lines crisscross the terrain. The landscape is defined by its sophisticated water management systems, including the Mamou Canal, Riverside Canal, and an Abandoned Canal, which serve the agricultural needs of the coastal prairie. The natural meandering courses of Bayou Des Cannes and Bayou Nezpique form prominent geographical boundaries against the man-made grid of canals and section lines. Small settlements like Iota and Millerville anchor the eastern and western portions of the quadrangle, while recreational or specialized sites like the Race Track near the center indicate the diverse land use in this Louisiana interior.
