About this map

Boeuf River meanders sharply through this landscape on the boundary of Richland and Caldwell Parishes, defining a terrain marked by bayous and drainage sloughs. The settlement pattern is concentrated in small communities like Buckner, Charlieville, and Gilleyville, which are supported by a network of rural institutions. Numerous country churches, including St Johns Ch and Amity Ch, serve as local landmarks alongside family and community burial grounds such as Myers Cem and Landerneau Cem.

The presence of the Minnow Farm and various spoil banks indicates the area's specialized land use and water management practices in the early 1980s. Natural features like Snake Ridge and Persimmon Slough illustrate the alluvial nature of the region, while a Landing Strip near the river suggests the importance of aerial access for local agricultural or industrial operations in this riverine environment.
