About this map

Vermilion Parish and Lafayette Parish meet along a landscape defined by prairie drainage coulees and dispersed rural settlements. This southern Louisiana territory is anchored by the community of Maurice, where Saint Alphonsus Cem marks a local point of continuity. The terrain is crisscrossed by an extensive network of local roads including LA Highway 92 and LA Highway 700, which connect smaller nodes like Andrew, Meaux, and the namesake Leroy.

Water management is central to the area's geography, with the Bayou Grand Marais and Granges Coulee providing natural drainage for the agricultural lands. Genealogists will find a high density of family-linked landmarks and burial sites, from the centrally located Leroy Catholic Cem to the Abshire Reynders Cem and Broussard Cem. The inclusion of the Kenan Airstrip reflects the region's continued reliance on small-scale aviation for land management and crop dusting in this productive corner of the Acadiana region.
