Fenton and Woodlawn anchor this landscape of Jefferson Davis Parish and Calcasieu Parish as it appeared in 2012. The area is defined by a dense network of energy production and agricultural drainage, with the Fenton Gas Field and Woodlawn Oil Field indicating the persistent importance of the petroleum industry to the local economy. Waterways like Bayou Arceneaux, Little Bayou, and W Bayou Lacassine meander through a grid of rural roads, many named for local families such as Abie Fontenot Rd and Leger Rd. The presence of the Lonesome Dove Airfield and Light Plane Flyers Airfield suggests a community where private aviation and perhaps crop-dusting are central to land management. For those tracing family history, the Pine Hill Cem on Pinehill Cemetery Rd serves as a significant genealogical landmark in this coastal prairie region.
