About this map

Gueydan and Morse anchor the northwestern portion of this landscape, where the flat coastal plains are deeply etched by a complex drainage network. The Acadia Parish and Vermilion Parish border follows the meandering path of the Bayou Queue De Tortue, a prominent waterway that dominates the central terrain. This area reflects a long-standing agricultural and rural heritage, evidenced by numerous family-named landmarks and resting places such as Hanks Cem, Simon Cem, and Leger Cem.

South of the bayou, the small settlements of Wright and Mulvey appear alongside a grid of irrigation and transport features like the Aurico Canal and the Ferre Canal. The landscape is further defined by its gullies and coulees, including Coulee Des Iles and Prime Gully, which channel water toward the Bayou Grand Marais. The road network, often named for local flora and fauna such as Wild Turkey Rd and Bluegill Rd, illustrates the integration of residential life with the surrounding wetlands.
