2015 Map of Boyce

About this map

Boyce serves as the focal point for this survey of the Red River valley, situated at a major bend in the waterway where the Red River defines the border between Rapides and Grant Parishes. The landscape is characterized by its intricate hydraulic network, featuring the McNeely Cut-Off and numerous bayous like Bayou Patassa and Bayou Rigolette that thread through the lowlands. Significant local landmarks include Lake Rodemacher to the southwest and the elevated Deloges Bluff overlooking the river. The map provides excellent detail for genealogists, documenting several rural burial sites such as Valentine Cem, Lacour Cem, and Saint Aloysius Cem. Small settlements like Zimmerman, Oasis, and Kateland are shown connected by a network of rural roads and canals, reflecting the area's agricultural and riverine character.
