About this map

The crescent arc of the False River oxbow lake dominates the northern landscape of this region, separating the mainland from the area known as The Island. This late 2010s survey captures the traditional agricultural and plantation layout of Pointe Coupee Parish as it transitions into West Baton Rouge Parish. Settlements like Lakeland, Jarreau, and Oscar line the fertile banks of the oxbow, while the southern reaches are defined by a complex drainage network including Gretwes Swamp and Bayou Clause.

Industry and transport are represented by the Alma plantation area and the Schexnayder Airport near Erwinville. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites, such as Saint Ambrose Cem, Chenal Cem, and Mount Zion Cem, which mark the centers of these established river communities. The map provides a clear look at the parish boundary where it follows Bayou Poydras, illustrating the geographic constraints that have shaped local jurisdiction for generations.
