2012 Map of Ville Platte

About this map

Ville Platte serves as the primary hub of this Evangeline Parish landscape, where a dense network of local roads radiates from the town center into the surrounding rural prairies. The landscape is characterized by the transition from the residential streets of the parish seat to the agricultural and resource-rich lands of Prairie Mamou. To the south, the Point Blue Gas Field signifies the region's energy production, while the northern edge is defined by the large expanse of Millers Lake. The survey documents numerous community markers essential for genealogical research, including the Te Mamou Cem, Pine Point Cem, and Jules Cem. Educational and civic life is centered at Ville Platte High School and Evangeline Memorial Park, while transportation infrastructure like Sylvesters Airport and the winding Coulee Manuel provide a detailed look at how the local topography and economy were managed in the early 21st century.
