About this map

Bayou Queue De Tortue meanders across this landscape, defining the boundary between Acadia and Vermilion Parishes. In the early 1980s, this region of south Louisiana displays a complex network of man-made waterways like the Avrico Canal, Maree Canal, and Michel Canal, which support the agricultural and petroleum infrastructure of the coastal prairie. The Southern Pacific railroad cuts through the settlements of Morse, Wright, and Mulvey, anchoring the local economy to the rail lines. Small family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including Hanks Cem, Simon Cem, and Leger Cem, are scattered throughout the rural tracts, providing essential markers for genealogists tracing heritage in these prairie communities. The presence of numerous gas wells and the Merrit Landing Strip further illustrates the industrial and transit character of the area during this period.
