2020 Map of Church Point

About this map

Church Point serves as the focal point of this Cajun Prairie landscape, where the town's dense grid meets the sprawling agricultural tracts of Acadia Parish and St Landry Parish. The area is defined by its deep cultural roots and aviation history, evidenced by a concentration of small landing strips including Briggs Airfield, Kibs Air Park, and the cryptically named Lost Airfield. To the north, the elevated ground of Plaquemine Ridge rises above the drainage of Bayou Wikoff, influencing the local road network and settlement patterns. Genealogy and local history are preserved at several sites, most notably at the Our Lady of Sacred Heart Cem and Mcbride Cem, which mark the community's early established centers near the village of Lewisburg.
