About this map

Bunkie serves as the central hub of this late-2010s survey, situated where the borders of Rapides and Avoyelles Parishes meet. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including the winding Bayou Boeuf and the engineered Bayou Boeuf/Cocodrie Diversion Channel. These watercourses, alongside others like Bayou Huffpower and Lac Bon Garçon, reflect the alluvial nature of the region and its historical reliance on natural drainage for agriculture.

Smaller surrounding settlements such as Eola, Holmesville, and Carboco are connected by a grid of rural roads and local routes like Shirley Rd and Goux Rd. Aviation history is visible through three distinct facilities: Bunkie Municipal Airport, Tebow Airport, and the Bunkie Flying Service. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial sites including Pythian Cem, Hatfield Cem, and Lauther Cem, providing specific locations for family research in this part of Louisiana.
