About this map

The Vermilion River and a network of intricate coulees like Anselm Coulee and Darby Coulee define the drainage of this south Louisiana landscape during the mid-1950s. The expanding urban footprint of Lafayette is visible in the northeast, showing early suburban developments and institutions such as Myrtle Place Sch and Central Sch. Further west, the Southern Pacific railroad corridor anchors the settlements of Duson, Sadou, and Scott.
