About this map

DeRidder serves as the central hub for this Beauregard Parish landscape, anchored by the Beauregard Parish Courthouse at the heart of its street grid. The area exhibits a pattern of small settlements and airfields, with Ludington to the north and Bon Ami and Carson to the south along the rail corridor. Local aviation history is represented by both the Beauregard Regional Airport and the smaller Swamp Smith Airport near the eastern edge.

The hydrology of the region is defined by numerous drainage systems, including Palmetto Creek and Barnes Creek, which cut through the level terrain. Genealogists will find several burial sites noted, such as Woodlawn Cemetery, Starlight Cemetery, and Beauregard Cemetery. A network of rural routes, including Raymond Cole Road and Sand Bed Road, connects the outlying communities of Hite and Shear to the primary parish seat.
