2020 Map of Richard

About this map

The boundary between St. Landry and Acadia Parishes defines this rural landscape, where agriculture is shaped by a network of drainage gullies like Blaise Lejeune Gully and Hazelwood Gully. The settlement of Richard serves as a local hub, anchored by the Saint Edward Cemetery and the thoroughfare of Richard School Road. This 2020 survey reveals a community deeply rooted in its local geography, with numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries such as Courville Cemetery and Fruge Cemetery scattered across the township lines. The transition between t6s r1e and t7s r2e illustrates the persistent influence of the Public Land Survey System on modern Louisiana land use. Small aviation infrastructure is represented by the Prop Stop Airport, while the smaller communities of Prudhomme, Pitreville, and Hundley mark the intersections of a dense network of parish roads and state highways like La 95.
