2020 Map of Jeanerette

About this map

Bayou Teche winds through the heart of the Acadiana region, serving as a historic corridor for the settlements of Jeanerette, Hubertville, and Loisel. The landscape is defined by the transition from agricultural tracts and small communities like Patoutville and Olivier to the extensive wetlands and marshlands of the Atchafalaya Basin to the northeast. This 2020 survey reveals a dense concentration of local heritage sites, particularly cemeteries such as Saint John the Evangelist Cem and Saint Nicholas Cem, which reflect the deep-rooted cultural and genealogical history of Iberia Parish. Transport and infrastructure are centered around the Le Maire Memorial Airport and a network of parish roads that follow the diagonal orientation of the original land grants. The northern reaches of the quadrangle are dominated by the waters of Lake Fausse Pointe and Tete Bayou, illustrating the complex interplay of natural waterways and man-made drainage like the Delahoussaye Canal.
