2012 Map of DeRidder

About this map

DeRidder serves as the primary urban center for this portion of Beauregard Parish, showing a dense street grid that transitions into the outlying Hudson Addition. The southern reach of the city is anchored by the Beauregard Regional Airport, while smaller aviation history is preserved at the uniquely named Swamp Smith Airport to the southeast. Outside the city limits, the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Palmetto Creek and Hickory Branch, with scattered rural clusters at Hite, Grabow, and Shear. Further south, the map identifies the locations of Bon Ami and Carson, settlements that hint at the region's historic dependence on the timber industry. Genealogists may find the location of Woodlawn Cemetery particularly useful for tracing local family histories within the DeRidder area.
