Youngsville and Broussard anchor this 2015 study of the Louisiana landscape where Lafayette, St. Martin, Iberia, and Vermilion Parishes converge. The map documents a complex drainage network vital to this low-lying region, including the winding Bayou Pare Perdu, LaSalle Coulee, and Coulee Malam. These natural waterways are supplemented by the Norris Branch Canal, illustrating the region's managed hydrology. Small aviation hubs like Sky Ranch Airport and Richard's Airport appear alongside older settlements such as Lozes, Duchamp, and Coteau. The residential expansion is evident in the dense network of roads like Sugar Trace Dr and Copperfield Way, showing the transition from agricultural tracts to modern suburban development while maintaining traditional parish boundaries.
