About this map

The town of Fenton and the community of Woodlawn define the rural character of this Southwest Louisiana landscape along the boundary of Calcasieu and Jefferson Davis parishes. The terrain is a complex network of waterways, featuring Bayou Serpent, Little Bayou, and the winding path of Bayou Arceneaux, which cuts across the central prairies. Historically significant family names are preserved in the local road network, including Abie Fontenot Rd, Lebouef Rd, and Cormier Village Rd, reflecting the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the region.

Local infrastructure and industry are evidenced by the Miller Oilfield Rd and the Light Plane Flyers Airfield located near the southern edge of the survey. Genealogists will find the Pine Hill Cem on Pine Hill Cemetery Rd an essential landmark for tracing regional family histories in this agricultural and oil-producing corridor. The map effectively documents the intersection of natural bayous and human modification, from drainage patterns to the grid of parish roads that link these small settlements.
