About this map

Cottonport serves as the primary hub of this Avoyelles Parish landscape, where the street grid fans out along Bayou Rouge. The town's layout is defined by historic thoroughfares like Front St and Cotton St, while the local cemetery, Saint Anthony Cem, lies on the eastern edge. To the southwest, the village of Evergreen occupies a rise above the surrounding wetlands, connected to the larger community by La-361.

The terrain is a complex network of waterways and drainage canals, reflecting the agricultural and hydrological history of the region. Distinctive features like Jews-harp Lake and Boggy Lake sit near Enterprise, while the Coco Canal and Indian Bayou cut through the low-lying plains. To the south, the settlement of Goudeau is positioned near Gum Ridge, bordering the expansive wildlife-rich environment of Big Buttonwood Lake and the branching reaches of Spring Bayou.
