2012 Map of Fordoche
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
The low-lying alluvial landscape of Pointe Coupee Parish is defined by a dense network of sluggish waterways and industrial development in the early 21st century. Livonia and Fordoche serve as the primary hubs, surrounded by active energy extraction zones including the Bayou Fordoche Oil Field, Frisco Oil Field, and Livonia Oil Field. The terrain is etched with bayous such as Bayou Portage and Bayou Blue, while the local genealogy is anchored by the False River Cem and Bailey Cem. Small settlements like Blanks, Quick, and Valverda are connected by a grid of rural roads and rail lines, including the distinctive Iris Spur. The presence of the Valverda Strip Airport and several named spurs like Frogmore and Kenmore reflect the specialized agricultural and transport needs of this river-bound region.
