About this map

The Calcasieu River and its intricate network of tributaries, including Chinquapin Creek and Gum Branch, define the low-lying drainage patterns of this portion of Allen Parish. The landscape is characterized by a mix of agricultural plots and dense wetlands, evidenced by names like Winn Gully and Merry Gully. Small communities such as Ward and Foley anchor the local road network, while the Allen Parish Airport serves as a regional transportation hub in the northern sector.

Family history and local heritage are well-preserved through several established burial grounds, notably McGee Cem, Reed Cem, and Deshotel Cem. These landmarks, along with a grid of rural roads like Cottongin Castor Rd and Herman Carrier Rd, suggest a long history of family-centered settlement and timber or agricultural industry. The presence of Durose Cem and various named gullies like Duplechien Gully further underscores the localized, family-named geography of this Louisiana parish.
