2018 Map of Cheneyville

About this map

Cheneyville serves as the primary hub for this central Louisiana landscape, where the intricate network of watercourses defines the agricultural and residential patterns. The town's grid is bounded by Front St and Boeuf Ave, following the gentle curves of Bayou Boeuf. To the north and west, the smaller settlement of Lecompte and rural outposts like Echo and Roxana sit amongst a labyrinth of named waterways including Wilson Bayou, Rattlesnake Bayou, and Bayou Pompey. This environment, characterized by its dense hydrography, has historically dictated the placement of cemeteries such as Stafford Cem and Christians Cem, which are often situated on slightly higher ground near the bayous. The extensive road network, including Lloyds Bridge Rd and Cheneyville Echo Rd, provides a clear view of how rural connectivity evolved around these natural drainage systems in Rapides Parish.
