2018 Map of Parks

About this map

Bayou Teche defines the central corridor of this Saint Martin Parish landscape, winding through a region characterized by its intricate drainage networks and deep agricultural roots. The settlement of Parks serves as a local hub along the bayou, while to the south, the map captures the northern edge of St. Martinville. The land is divided into numerous coulees and bayous, such as Catahoula Coulee, Pointe Claire Coulee, and Bayou Martin, which drain the low-lying plains between elevated areas like Cypress Island. This 2018 survey reveals a mosaic of modern property divisions and historic land use, including Banker Plantation and the community of Levert. Local aviation is represented by the Ace Flying Airport and Castille Field, providing a look at how contemporary infrastructure sits alongside traditional water-dependent settlements and the natural wetlands of the Atchafalaya basin periphery.
