About this map

Lafayette sits at the heart of this mid-1950s survey, a period when the city's modern infrastructure began expanding alongside long-established Acadiana settlements like Youngsville, Scott, and Duson. The landscape is a network of water management and transit, defined by the winding course of the Vermilion River and the steady tracks of the Southern Pacific railroad. Smaller communities such as Maurice, Milton, and Ridge are well-documented, anchored by local institutions like Judice High Sch and Morning Star Ch.
