1946 Map of Milton
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
The Vermilion River carves a winding path through this portion of Acadiana, serving as a natural boundary between Lafayette Parish and Vermilion Parish. The landscape is a network of agricultural land and drainage systems, defined by features like the Hunter Irrigation Canal and numerous coulees, including Granges Coulee and Anselm Coulee. Small rural communities and schoolhouses are distributed across the prairie, with LeBlanc Sch and Langlinais Sch serving the outlying homesteads. The Southern Pacific railroad provides a primary industrial spine through the eastern portion of the quadrangle, connecting the settlements of Youngsville and Flanders. This mid-century survey, based on 1930s field examinations, preserves the transition of the region from a purely water-dependent agricultural economy to one increasingly integrated by the growing network of roads like State Highway No 43 and State Highway No 175.
