About this map

Bayou Queue de Tortue meanders across this low-lying landscape, serving as the natural boundary between Acadia and Vermilion Parishes. In this intensive agricultural region, the water management network is highly developed, featuring the Ferre Canal, Maree Michel Canal, and the Aurico Canal that cut through the flat prairies. The settlement pattern is defined by small, distinct communities like Morse in the northwest and Gueydan in the southwest, connected by a rigid grid of gravel and paved roads named for local families and wildlife, such as Homer Adams Rd and Canvasback Rd. Local heritage is anchored by rural burial grounds, including Hanks Cem and Simon Cem, which stand near drainage features like Lyons Point Gully and Simmons Gully, illustrating the long-standing human adaptation to the Louisiana wetlands.
