2015 Map of Kaplan North

About this map

Bayou Queue De Tortue marks the northern boundary of this landscape, winding through the borderlands between Acadia Parish and Vermilion Parish. This portion of southern Louisiana is defined by a dense network of drainage canals and natural gullies, including Hunter Canal, Castille Gully, and Coulee Des Iles, which weave through a grid of rural roads and agricultural plots. The town of Kaplan sits at the southern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a hub for the surrounding settlements of Leleux and Cossinade. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of several small burial sites like Abshire Cem, Mire Cem, and Cossinade Cem provides specific points for family research. The terrain transition from the winding bayou in the north to the strictly surveyed agricultural township lines in the south highlights the region's managed hydraulic environment.
