Fenton sits at the northern edge of this southwestern Louisiana landscape, where the prairie begins its transition toward the coastal marshes. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by its complex drainage network, including Bayou Serpent, Little Bayou, and Bayou Arceneaux, which snake across the terrain. The presence of Miller Oilfield Rd and Oilfield Rd indicates the ongoing importance of the petroleum industry to the local economy. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific naming of rural thoroughfares such as Abie Fontenot Rd, Carl Hoppe Rd, and Gro Racca Rd, which preserve the names of long-standing local families. The southern portion of the map includes Pine Hill Cem and the Light Plane Flyers Airfield, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure and communal sites that serve this rural parish boundary between Calcasieu and Jefferson Davis.
