About this map

The swampy lowlands of the Bayou Queue de Tortue divide the landscape of this 1946 coastal prairie survey, marking the Indefinite Boundary between Acadia Parish and Vermilion Parish. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and drainage, including the Avrico Canal and various unnamed ditches that supported the region's rice-growing economy. In the northern reaches, the Point au Ferre Swamp feeds into the bayou, while the Lyons Gully drains the area around Lyons Point.
