<div id="ygrps-yiv-1654642888">For those people in Europe, etc. who are mystified, I wrote &quot;county-equivalent&quot;<br/>
because the creatures of the state known as counties in almost all other states<br/>
are known as parishes here in Louisiana.<br/>
<br/>
The Lafayette/Vermilion parish boundary, under dispute somewhere along it&#39;s run,<br/>
has a tripoints at each end, one with Acadia Parish and one with Iberia Parish.<br/>
The former is a watercourse confluence, and the latter is the junction two<br/>
geodesic lines.  I do not know where the disputed segment is located, but I will<br/>
try to learn.<br/>
<br/>
This particular situation is rather unusual in that the line that Lafayette<br/>
Parish wants to confirm actually favors Vermilion Parish with territory.<br/>
Vermilion is not complaining!  The complaints come from the handful of residents<br/>
of the vague area.<br/>
