2015 Map of Gaytine

About this map

Marsh Bayou and Indian Bayou dominate the drainage patterns of this Southwest Louisiana landscape, where the borders of Beauregard, Calcasieu, Jefferson Davis, and Allen Parishes meet. The settlement at Gaytine serves as a central point along Gaytine Rd, while the small community of Turps sits further south. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of local roads named for established families, such as Edna Guillery Rd, Dave Cole Rd, and Bennie Felice Rd, suggesting a long history of local land ownership and rural development. Private aviation is represented by Habetz Airport north of the main settlement. The lower portion of the area features Little Indian Bayou and Blackman Bayou as they wind through the flats toward Gillis, illustrating the complex water systems common to the coastal plain region.
