About this map

Bayou Teche defines the central spine of this Saint Martin Parish landscape, winding past the village of Parks and the community of Levert. This 2020 survey illustrates the deep integration of water and land in the Acadiana region, where the bayou remains the primary geographic anchor for settlements and industrial sites like the J B Falley Sand Pit Rd. To the south, the northern reaches of St. Martinville emerge, marked by residential developments and significant agricultural lands.

Drainage and irrigation patterns are meticulously documented through a network of coulees, including Catahoula Coulee and Pointe Claire Coulee, which manage the low-lying terrain. The map captures the specialized land use of the area, from the Ace Flying Airport near the northern boundary to the sprawling Banker Plantation in the southeast. Named settlements like Isle Labbe and Cypress Island provide valuable reference points for understanding the historical distribution of family tracts and local communities across the parish.
