2020 Map of Gueydan

About this map

Gueydan anchors the southeastern corner of this survey, where a rigid grid of town streets like Henri Gueydan St and Daspit St gives way to the vast agricultural irrigation networks of Vermilion Parish. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Bayou Queue de Tortue, which serves as a natural boundary between Acadia and Vermilion Parishes. To the north, the small settlement of Riceville sits near the Mermentau River, while the rural expanse is dotted with private aviation sites like Venissat Airstrip. The surveying reveals a highly managed water system, utilizing the Moon Island Canal and Lazy Point Canal to navigate the low-lying terrain. Local history is preserved at the Istre Cem, situated among a network of rural roads named for local wildlife and landmarks, including Shark Rd and Pelican Rd.
