The Vermilion River carves a winding path through this corner of Acadiana, marking a significant portion of the boundary between Lafayette Parish and Vermilion Parish. The landscape is a complex network of natural drainage and engineered waterways, including Anselm Coulee, Coulee Kenny, and the Steiner Canal. This 2024 survey reflects the modern growth around Youngsville and Milton, while preserving the locations of numerous family-named landmarks and burial grounds. For genealogists and local historians, the concentration of cemeteries is remarkable, ranging from the Saint Joseph's Catholic Cem in the north to the Catholic Cem near Charon in the south. These sites, along with Broussard Cem and Woodlawn Cem, provide essential anchor points for tracing the lineage of the area's residents amidst the evolving residential developments.
