Gueydan and Morse anchor the western edge of this coastal prairie landscape, where the boundary between Acadia Parish and Vermilion Parish follows the winding course of Bayou Queue de Tortue. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage and irrigation, from the Maree Michel Canal in the south to the Ferre Canal and Lyons Point Gully in the north. Genealogists will find several notable family landmarks, including the Johnson Hanks Cem near the Acadia line, and the Simon Cem and Leger Cem located further south. The map illustrates the region's agricultural layout, marked by a grid of rural roads named for local fauna and families, such as Homer Adams Rd and Wild Turkey Rd, leading toward the small settlement at Lyons Point.
