2015 Map of Wright

About this map

Bayou Queue De Tortue meanders across the landscape, serving as the natural boundary between Acadia and Vermilion Parishes in this coastal prairie region. The agricultural character of the area is defined by a dense network of water management features, including the Ferre Canal, Avrico Canal, and Mare-Michel Canal, which support the local rice-growing tradition. Small settlements and rural hubs anchor the geography, from Gueydan in the southwest to the communities of Morse, Wright, Lyons Point, and Mulvey. Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites distributed across the townships, such as Hanks Cem, Simon Cem, and Leger Cem. The map reveals a transition from natural drainage systems like Coulee Des Iles and Castille Gully to the rectilinear grid of irrigation canals and parish roads that facilitate the region's rural economy.
