About this map

Beaver and Cypress Creek anchor this Louisiana landscape, characterized by an intricate network of waterways and low-lying wetlands. The area is defined by the extensive Bayou Marsh and several winding streams, including Beaver Cr and Cypress Cr, which carve through the terrain. Human presence is marked by a grid of rural roads and aviation points like Dyer Airport and the Leger Landing Strip.

Genealogists will find interest in the Beaver Cem and Delafosse Cem, while the Beaver Lookout Tower stands as a notable landmark in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The nomenclature of the local roads, such as Burned Down Rd and Wayne Johnson Rd, reflects the localized history and naming conventions of Allen Parish. This survey provides a clear view of the rural settlement patterns and drainage systems just before the mid-2010s.
