About this map

Chataignier serves as the focal point of this Evangeline Parish landscape, surrounded by an intricate network of rural roads and family-named landmarks. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Bayou Des Cannes and Bayou Marron, which cut through the agricultural land and oil fields. This 2012 survey illustrates a deeply rooted community, evidenced by numerous family cemeteries such as the Leon Manuel Cem, Guillory Cem, and Fontenot Cem.

Industrial activity is prominent throughout the quadrangle, with the Chataignier Gas Field to the west and the North Savoy Oil Field and Savoy Oil and Gas Field to the south. Unique local features include the Linzay Downs Racetrack near Savoy and the Chataignier Landing Strip, reflecting a mix of traditional land use and specialized recreational and transit infrastructure. The map provides a precise look at the settlements of Swords and Savoy as they integrated into the larger regional parish structure.
