About this map

Garland and Beggs anchor this landscape of St. Landry Parish, where the complex hydrology of the Louisiana basin dictates the layout of roads and settlements. The map illustrates a dense network of watercourses, including Bayou Boeuf, Bayou Cocodrie, and Bayou Courtableau, which meander through the low-lying terrain. These waterways are accompanied by numerous smaller branches such as Little Wauksha Bayou, reflecting the intricate drainage patterns of the region.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented through several burial sites and smaller communities. Chimleyville and its associated Chimleyville Cem sit west of the primary north-south corridor of La 182, while Saint Josephs Cem and Whipp Cem provide further points for researchers. Aviation history is noted by the presence of Star Dusters Airport near the center of the quadrangle. The road network, featuring routes like La 10 and several parish roads, connects these rural clusters across the wetland-rich environment.
