About this map

Opelousas serves as the heart of this survey, where the street grid expands southward from the historic intersection of Main St and W Landry St. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage of the Acadiana region, with Bayou Teche and Bayou Courtableau carving paths through the low-lying terrain. To the north, the town of Washington is framed by Bayou Carron and several significant burial sites, including Cedar Hill Cem and the Hebrew Rest Cem.

Educational and transportation infrastructure is well-established, featuring the South Louisiana Community College T H Harris Campus and the St Landry Parish Airport-Ahart Field. Smaller communities like Nuba, Boscoville, and Notelyville are connected by a network of local roads such as White Oak Rd and Stelly Rd, reflecting the transition from the dense urban center of the parish seat to the surrounding prairie coulees and bayou bottomlands.
