About this map

Agricultural life in southwestern Louisiana centers on a network of small settlements and irrigation infrastructure in this mid-1940s survey. The landscape is defined by the Hunter Irrigation Canal, a major engineered waterway cutting across the prairie to support the region's rice farming economy. Small community hubs like Leroy, Andrew, and Meaux are connected by a grid of early state highways, including State Highway No 177 and State Highway No 476. Family history is deeply etched into the land through numerous cemeteries such as Abshire Cem, Petre Cem, and Broussard Cem, reflecting the Acadian heritage of the area. Along the eastern edge, the terrain transitions toward the natural drainage of Kinney Coulee and Coulee Granges, which mark the boundary between Vermilion and Lafayette parishes.
