Cheneyville and its surrounding agricultural landscape are defined by a complex network of waterways that drain this section of Rapides Parish. The town is situated along the winding banks of Bayou Boeuf, where residential streets like Greenwood Ave and Wadsworth meet rural routes. To the north, the terrain is partitioned by a grid of farm roads and larger bayous including Bayou Rouge and Bayou Current, while smaller channels such as Bayou Pompey and Calahan Bayou further segment the fields. Aviation and local history intersect at sites like the Vaughan Landing Strip and Cheneyville Landing Strip, as well as established burial grounds like Stafford Cem and Christians Cem. The map illustrates a region where transport remains closely tied to the natural hydrology, from the legacy of small settlements like Loyd and Roxana to the modern corridors of Jefferson Hwy.
