2012 Map of Evelyn

About this map

Bayou Pierre and the Flat River snake through this rural DeSoto Parish landscape, defining a region where Bayou Country drainage meets mid-century energy production. The small community of Evelyn sits at the northern edge, while the settlements of Rambin, Harris, and Wallace trace a corridor toward Ajax in the south. This 2012 survey illustrates the continued importance of the local petroleum industry, clearly delineating the extents of the Chemard Lake Oil Field and the Grogan Oil Field. Local history and genealogy are preserved through several family and community landmarks, including Saint Marys Cem, Wallace Cem, and Saint Pauls Cem. The crossing of Mary Cox Bridge and the low-lying terrain of Buck Neck further characterize the intricate network of parish roads and bayous like W Br Dolet Bayou and Little Wallace Bayou.
