Austin is not "Greater Appalachia" . . . and other irregularities. This one from 1981 is wayyyyy more accurate

Inaccurate map. St Tammany was not a part of French Louisiana

I get that, but it implies that St Tammany would have been at one time a French colony by lumping it in with the rest of South Louisiana. The map maker does not know history

Yes.

I grew up on the northern border of the Deep South and now live close to the border of Greater Appalachia and El Norte. Definitely has more of an El Norte feel though.

South of I-12 does have some New France culture. Does Jean-Bernard Xavier Philippe de Marigny de Mandeville ring a bell?

Yep. New France. My family lineage has a pretty significant french heritage embedded into it.
South Louisiana is so catholic you could build an American Vatican City in it.

Pretty broad generalizations there. To comment on the Florida Parishes aspect...
The differences between the emigrants to the Florida Parishes and the New France and Old South settlers might best be explained by the fact that the FP emigrants were largely Scotch Irish and worked their way to Louisiana (and Alabama, Mississippi, Texas) from Appalachia and the Carolinas.
Our attitudes toward government and virtually everything date further back than the settlement of the new world. Certainly, the War Between the States had a major role in forming attitudes. But the nature of my people (Scotch Irish of the Florida Parishes) was cast long before the big boat trip.
