Vermilion Parish and Iberia Parish now have an official map that brings an end to a boundary issue that began five years before the start of World War I.
Engineer Gene Sellers said his research found the issue began in 1909, with the first survey that attempted to resolve the dispute.

“People really had a good time,” Plaisance said. “A lot of fish were caught.
“We had no problems, whatsoever.”
