The Vermilion River and a complex network of coulees, including Coulee-Iles des Cannes and Coulee Mine, define the landscape of south-central Louisiana in this 2015 survey. The map details the urban and suburban expansion of Lafayette, stretching from the industrial corridors near Industrial Helicopters Inc Airport in the north to the residential developments of Youngsville and Broussard in the south. Academic and community hubs such as the Univ of Louisiana at Lafayette and the S Louisiana Community Coll are centered within a dense grid of modern transit arteries like Ambassador Caffery Pky and Kaliste Saloom Rd. Significant local history is preserved in numerous burial grounds, such as Holy Sepulchre Cem and the Jewish Cem, alongside landmarks like the Pin Hook Bridge crossing the river.
