2018 Map of Kaplan South

About this map

The town of Kaplan anchors the northern portion of this Louisiana landscape, where the structured grid of streets like S Frederick Ave and E Amy St meets the agricultural expanse of Vermilion Parish. The region is defined by a sophisticated network of drainage and irrigation infrastructure, including the Bull Moose Canal, Number Five Canal, and Cow Island Number One Canal. These waterways navigate a terrain where distinct island-like rises emerge from the wetlands, such as Long Island, Second Island, and Greens Pine Island. For those tracing local families, the map identifies several rural burying grounds, including Hebert Cem, Greene Cem, and multiple locations for Marceaux Cem. The transition from the developed town center to the southern marshlands is marked by numerous named family roads, reflecting the long-standing land divisions and settlements of this coastal prairie region.
