2012 Map of Boyce

About this map

Boyce serves as a focal point along the Red River, exhibiting a grid of streets like Wettermark St and Connaught Ave that define its riverside development. The landscape is deeply tied to the meandering river and its surrounding bayou systems, including the complex Cane River-Red Bayou Diversion Canal and Bayou Jean De Jean. Rural settlements such as Zimmerman, Kateland, and Fairmount are scattered across the floodplain, often located near distinctive landmarks like Deloges Bluff or the industrial waters of Lake Rodemacher. Genealogists will find a significant number of family and community burial grounds, including Saint Aloysius Cem, Bynum Cem, and Rose View Cem. The movement of water through features like Pontfield Bend and Labourne Bayou illustrates the historical reliance on these natural drainage patterns for both transit and agriculture in Rapides Parish.
