2015 Map of Elton

About this map

The town of Elton sits at the intersection of a vast network of section roads and drainage gullies in western Louisiana. This landscape is defined by the proximity of the Allen Parish and Jefferson Davis Parish line, which cuts through the northern portion of the map near the settlement of Barnsdall. To the south, the community of China remains a distinct marker in a landscape shaped by watercourses like the W Bayou Grand Marais and Bayou Alligator. Genealogists will find several burial grounds identified, including Liberty Cem, Chretien Cem, and Bertrand Cem. The presence of Tietjes Airport and numerous local roads like Shell Quarters Rd and Doise Rd illustrate the local transport and agricultural framework that has sustained these communities for generations.
