2012 Map of Beggs

About this map

Bayou Boeuf meanders through this portion of St. Landry Parish, anchoring a landscape defined by traditional Louisiana bayous and agricultural plantations. The settlement of Beggs sits near the center of the sheet, while Garland and Macland line the northern and southern corridors. Local family history is preserved at the Chimleyville Cem and Whipp Cem, providing significant touchpoints for genealogists researching the area. The presence of Thistlethwaite Camp and the Washington Oil and Gas Field indicates a mix of timber, conservation, and resource extraction that shaped the local economy. Beyond the main settlements, the terrain is marked by smaller waterways like Little Wauksha Bayou and Bayou Cocodrie, along with aviation activity at the Star Dusters Airport. The road network, including Mistrose Plantation Rd and Garland Station Rd, hints at the historical agrarian transit patterns of the parish.
