1994 Map of De Quincy

About this map

The town of De Quincy serves as the central hub of this mid-1990s survey, positioned along the border of Beauregard and Calcasieu Parishes. This landscape is defined by the extraction economy of Southwest Louisiana, illustrated by the North De Quincy Oil Field, the Perkins Oil and Gas Field, and the De Quincy Field. The industrial character of the region is further underscored by the presence of the C. Paul Phelps Correctional Center in the north and several pits scattered near the residential areas. Beyond the town grid, the terrain is marked by a network of waterways including Beckwith Creek and Buxton Creek, which drain into the Little River. Small outlying settlements such as Hargrove, Helme, and Perkins provide glimpses into the rural residential patterns of the era, while a dedicated Landing Strip and proximity to multiple Mobile Home Park sites indicate the specialized local infrastructure supporting the parish workforce.
