Lafayette and the surrounding Acadiana region are defined by a complex network of bayous and modern transit corridors in this contemporary survey. The Vermilion River snakes through the heart of the landscape, joined by drainage features like Coulee Mine and Coulee Ile des Cannes. This area shows the dense institutional fabric of the parish seat, anchored by the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and the South Louisiana Community College. Local history is preserved in a high concentration of memorial sites, from the Jewish Cem and Lafayette Protestant Cem in the urban center to more secluded locations like Simon Cem and Whittington Cem. The transition from the commercial density of Ambassador Caffery Pkwy to the outlying settlements of Scott, Milton, and Broussard illustrates the continued expansion of the metropolitan footprint along historical land divisions.
