About this map

The low-lying prairie and bayou country along the Evangeline Parish and St. Landry Parish border is defined here by a network of drainage channels and scattered agricultural settlements. Centered around Grand Prairie, the landscape is etched with the courses of Bayou Cocodrie and the engineered Bayou Boeuf-Cocodrid Diversion Channel, which manage the water levels of the surrounding farmland. Small rural hubs such as Faubourg and Tate Cove anchor the northern reaches, while the southern portion features family-named landmarks and cemeteries like Lafleur Cem and Soileaus Cem near Belair Cove. This 1980s landscape shows the transition of traditional Acadiana settlements into an era of modern infrastructure, evidenced by the Cen-Tex Landing Strip and extensive pipeline networks serving local oil wells. Local spiritual life is well-documented through scattered sites like St Peter Ch and New Hope Ch, reflecting the deep-rooted community structure of the region.
