About this map

The lowlands of southwestern Louisiana at the intersection of Acadia, St. Landry, and Lafayette Parishes define this detailed study of the rural landscape. Small, traditionally established communities such as Mire, Arceneaux, and Higginbotham are situated amidst a network of drainage ways and bayous, including Bayou Queue de Tortue and Coulee Duralde. These watercourses have historically shaped the agricultural boundaries and transportation routes of the region.

Modern infrastructure is visible alongside older landmarks, such as Mount Calvary Cem and Stafford Airport near the eastern edge. The map captures the transition between the small-town outskirts of Rayne and Duson and the more dispersed settlements like Bristol and Cankton to the north. Local landmarks such as Sievers Field provide specific points of interest for those researching the contemporary layout of this Acadiana heartland, where roads like Osage TRL and Thevis RD connect long-standing family landholdings.
