About this map

The low-lying prairies and bayous of Evangeline Parish define this 2012 landscape, where traditional rural settlements like Tate Cove and Belair Cove are woven together by a dense network of country roads. The hydrology is dominated by the winding paths of Bayou Petite Passe and Bayou Grand Louis, which cut through a region transitioning between agricultural land and active petroleum extraction, noted by the Gas Field near the center of the quadrangle.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial grounds, including the Old Grand Prairie Cem, Soileaus Cem, and Deville Cem. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is further detailed by private aviation sites like Cen-Tex Landing Strip and La Petite Airdrome, while the massive Bayou Boeuf-Cocodrie Diversion Channel in the northeast corner illustrates the region's large-scale water management efforts.
