2024 Map of Lawtell
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
Lawtell and the surrounding prairie of St. Landry Parish are defined by a network of bayous and ridges that shaped French-Acadian settlement patterns. The landscape is dominated by the Plaquemine Ridge and the winding course of the West Fork Bayou Plaquemine Brule. Significant for genealogists, this area is densely populated with community landmarks, including Saint Bridget Cem and Holy Family Church Cem in the main town, alongside outlying burial grounds like Bertrand Cem and Pitre Cem. Smaller communities such as Prairie Ronde, Ledoux, and Veazie are connected by a mix of state routes like La 35 and older parish roads. The drainage of Bayou Grand Louis and Bayou Marron illustrates the natural hydrology that supported the region's agricultural development across the Evangeline and St. Landry border.
