2024 Map of Cottonport

About this map

Cottonport serves as the primary hub in this corner of Avoyelles Parish, situated at a bend in Bayou Rouge and characterized by its network of historic streets like Front St and Sycamore St. The landscape is defined by the transition from settlement to wetlands, where Indian Bayou and Spring Bayou meander through the eastern reaches. The presence of the Central Louisiana Technical Community College Ward H Nash Avoyelles Campus in the town center marks its role as a regional educational point. Further south, the map traces the rural communities of Evergreen and Goudeau, the latter anchored by the Saint Charles Catholic Church Cem near Gum Ridge. These settlements are connected by a dense grid of parish roads and agricultural drainage projects like the Coco Canal, reflecting a long history of water management and land use in the Louisiana bayou country.
