About this map

Bayou Teche winds through the heart of Acadiana, anchoring a string of historic settlements from St. Martinville down to New Iberia. This 2020 survey reveals the modern landscape of the Bayou Teche National Paddle Trail corridor, where the water's influence is evident in the dense street grids and administrative centers like the Iberia Parish Courthouse. The map highlights a concentration of cultural and genealogical sites, including Saint Peter's Cem and the Nativity of Our Lady Mausoleum, reflecting the region's deep-rooted Catholic heritage.

To the west, the broad expanse of Spanish Lake and its surrounding wetlands contrast with the developing residential and educational hubs, such as the South Louisiana Community College New Iberia Campus. Smaller hamlets like Daspit, Morbihan, and Segura dot the landscape between the larger towns, while drainage features like Pointe Claire Coulee and Coulee du Portage illustrate the complex hydrology of the lower Teche basin.
