2015 Map of Guy

About this map

The Calcasieu River winds through this portion of Allen Parish, defining the drainage patterns for a series of creeks and gullies including Chinquapin Cr and Castor Cr. Small rural settlements like Ward, Guy, and Foley are connected by a network of local roads such as Reeds Bridge Rd and Carrier Rd, while the Allen Parish Airport serves as a modern aviation landmark in the northern section. Genealogy researchers will find several family-named burial sites scattered across the landscape, including McGee Cem, Deshotel Cem, and Durose Cem. The transition from the more developed area around Oberlin in the south to the timbered and agricultural tracts further north illustrates the enduring rural character of this Louisiana interior. Long-established land boundaries are marked by township and range lines, reflecting the historical division of the territory.
