2015 Map of Evelyn

About this map

Bayou Pierre and the shifting channels of the Red River Parish border define the northern reaches of this landscape, where small hamlets like Evelyn and Rambin sit atop the low ridges. This terrain transitions into the more pronounced Dolette Hills to the west, providing a distinct relief from the bottomlands. The map reveals a social fabric established around several country burial grounds and small community hubs, including Saint Marys Cem, Wallace Cem, and the village of Ajax. A network of backroads like Crow Ln and Rehab Ln connects the scattered homesteads. Southward, the geography is marked by drainage systems like Little Wallace Bayou and landmarks such as the Mary Cox Bridge, which crosses into Natchitoches Parish. This layout illustrates a rural Louisiana parish life where development is largely dictated by the path of bayous and the rise of the hills.
