2015 Map of Cheneyville

About this map

Cheneyville and the surrounding Rapides Parish lowlands are defined by the meandering course of Bayou Boeuf and its complex network of interconnected waterways. This 2015 U.S. Geological Survey representation reveals a landscape heavily partitioned by the Public Land Survey System, where agricultural fields are bounded by drainage features such as Morgan Bayou, Wilson Bayou, and Calahan Bayou. The settlement pattern follows the high ground near the water, with the town of Lecompte appearing in the northwest and smaller communities like Loyd, Roxana, and Echo situated along primary road corridors. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies specific points of interest including Stafford Cem and Christians Cem, alongside the residential street grids of Cheneyville featuring Greenwood Ave and Front St. The layout reflects a long history of alluvial agriculture, where transportation routes like Jefferson Hwy parallel the natural flow of the bayous.
