Notes
From Mathew Carey's "General Atlas;" one of the first maps of Louisiana after statehood in 1812. It shows little detail of the prairies of southwestern Louisiana since they were sparsely populated. Two Indian tribes, the Opelousa (Oppaloussas) and the Attakapa Indians inhabited this area during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
