About this map

Vermilion River meanders through the heart of this landscape, reflecting the suburban expansion of Lafayette in the mid-1990s. The map illustrates a dense network of residential streets and arterial roads transitioning into more industrial and rural tracts. To the west, the settlement of Scott is clearly defined, while smaller communities like Pilette appear to the southeast.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds and parish landmarks, including St John-Fatima Cem, Cobb Cem, and Simon Cem. The drainage patterns of the region are meticulously captured through named water bodies such as Coulee des Cannes and Coulee Anselm, which define the low-lying topography south of Interchange 100. This survey serves as a detailed record of the area's development before further turn-of-the-century intensification.
