1982 Map of Cadeville

About this map

Cadeville and the surrounding piney hills of Ouachita Parish are defined by the winding drainages of Cheniere Creek and the industrial footprint of the Cheniere Gas Field. This early 1980s landscape shows a community structured around rural intersections and watercourses, where family names are preserved on local roads like Golson Road and Joe Brown Rd. The map details a transition from the elevated timberlands down to the swampy margins of Lake Cheniere in the east. Numerous small country churches, including Center Point Ch and Antioch Ch, serve as the primary social landmarks for settlements such as Mt Pleasant and Okaloosa. The presence of extensive pipelines crossing Wilders Creek and Clark Creek underscores the region's reliance on energy extraction during this period.
