About this map

Maurice sits at the northeastern corner of this coastal prairie landscape, where the Lafayette Parish and Vermilion Parish line separates the growing community from the rural expanses to the south. The terrain is defined by a dense network of coulees and bayous that drain the agricultural fields, including the meandering Bayou Grand Marais and Granges Coulee. This survey captures the transition from traditional farming tracts to modern aviation and local hubs like Leroy and Meaux.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family-named landmarks and cemeteries scattered across the townships. Small burial grounds such as Abshire Cem, Petry Cem, Breaux Cem, and Broussard Cem are clearly marked alongside private landing strips like the Kenan Airstrip and Ken Guidry Number 4 Airport. The map also preserves the complex grid of local parish roads, such as Parish Road P521 and Gordon Rd, which connect the small settlements of Andrew and its neighbors.
