2015 Map of Opelousas

About this map

Opelousas serves as the focal point of this 2015 survey, revealing a landscape defined by its historic bayous and the intersections of rail and road. The city's grid is punctuated by significant local landmarks such as the Saint Landry Cem and the Louisiana Technical College Harris Campus. North of the city, the settlement of Washington sits near the headwaters of Bayou Courtableau, where the Hebrew Rest Cem and Cedar Hill Cem reflect the area's diverse cultural heritage. The geography is characterized by an intricate network of waterways including Bayou Bellevue and Bayou Del Puent, which wind through the low-lying Prairie Basse Coulee. This modern mapping provides a clear record of established communities like Nuba, Boscoville, and Notelyville as they appeared in the early 21st century, alongside the industrial and aviation infrastructure at St Landry Parish Airport-Ahart Field.
