About this map

The boundary between Evangeline Parish and St. Landry Parish cuts diagonally across this landscape of prairies and bayous in the mid-2010s. The eastern edge of Ville Platte transitions into a network of agricultural communities, where named settlements like Grand Prairie and Faubourg anchor the local geography. The terrain is defined by slow-moving water, notably Bayou Petite Passe and Bayou Carron, which shape the placement of rural homesteads and local roads. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally well-documented with family-named landmarks and burial sites, including Soileaus Cem, Old Grand Prairie Cem, and Deville Cem. The intricate naming of rural routes, such as Syrup Mill Rd and Rue De Cotton, reflects the deep agrarian roots of the region south of the Bayou Cocodrie drainage.
