2018 Map of Leroy

About this map

Maurice and the surrounding coastal prairies of Vermilion Parish are defined by a complex network of drainage channels and small unincorporated settlements. The land follows a traditional long-lot pattern typical of Acadiana, where property lines and roads like LA Highway 92 and LA Highway 700 cut across the landscape to connect rural hubs like Andrew and Meaux. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by the winding courses of Bayou Grand Marais and Granges Coulee, which drain the low-lying fields. This region is dotted with family-named landmarks and historical sites, including Broussard Cem and Abshire Cem, reflecting deep-rooted genealogical ties. The presence of Kenan Airstrip south of the central Leroy community highlights the area's reliance on both aviation and highway travel for regional connectivity.
