About this map

DeQuincy stands at the heart of this contemporary landscape, situated where the jurisdictional lines of Beauregard Parish and Calcasieu Parish meet. This region is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Buxton Creek, Beckwith Creek, and numerous named gullies like Beefpen Gully and Cowards Gully that feed toward the Little River in the south. The settlement pattern reflects both established residential areas and industrial growth, anchored by the De Quincy Industrial Airpark to the west of the main town center.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family-named burial sites concentrated east of the city, including Rigmaiden Cem, Perkins Cem, and the W E McEattern Cem. Beyond the primary township, smaller localities such as Hargrove to the north and Perkins to the south illustrate the persistent rural character of southwestern Louisiana. The map also traces various parish roads and loops, such as Hargrove Loop and Mister Roberts Rd, which provide access to the timbered and wetland terrain surrounding the settlements.
