About this map

The low-lying prairie and marshlands of Acadia and Vermilion parishes are defined here by an intricate network of drainage canals, flumes, and siphons necessary for local agriculture. The Bayou Queue de Tortue forms the primary natural boundary between the two parishes, winding through a landscape dotted with oil and gas wells. Small settlements like Morse, Gueydan, and Wright are linked by the Southern Pacific railroad, which runs across the southern and western portions of the quadrangle. Local genealogy is well-represented by family-named landmarks such as Hanks Cem, Simon Cem, and Leger Cem, alongside the community hub of Lyons Point and St Johns Ch. This survey illustrates the transition from natural waterways like Simmons Gully and Coulée des Iles to a highly engineered agrarian environment.
