2015 Map of Batchelor

About this map

Batchelor serves as a central hub in this riverbound landscape, where the intricate network of bayous and old river channels defines the geography of Pointe Coupee Parish. This 2015 survey illustrates a region shaped by its proximity to the water, featuring extensive drainage systems like Bayou Latenache and Big Bayou that wind through the lowlands. The importance of the Mississippi's historical path is evident in features such as the Raccourci Old River and the massive Morganza Floodway protecting the lower basin. Small communities and family landmarks are scattered throughout, including New California and Quinton. The local heritage is anchored by several rural sites of worship and rest, such as Lower Latenache Church and Saint Marks Cem, while the Missouri Pacific Railroad provides a structural link to the broader industrial economy of the parish.
