2012 Map of Batchelor

About this map

Batchelor and New California anchor this 2012 survey of the low-lying terrain in northern Pointe Coupee Parish, where the land is defined by an intricate network of waterways like Bayou Latenache and Bee Tree Bayou. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by both agriculture and industry, with the Bayou Garwood Oil Field situated west of the central bayous. Local heritage is preserved through several community landmarks, including Little Zion Cem, Mount Marias Cem, and the Lower Latenache Church. Transport routes such as Lacour Spur and the various residential streets in Batchelor show the modern configuration of this rural Louisiana parish. The drainage patterns, represented by Wilson Ditch and numerous bayous like Bayou White Vine, reveal the complex hydrology typical of the region's alluvial plains during the early 21st century.
