2015 Map of Hathaway

About this map

The agrarian landscape of Jefferson Davis Parish is defined by a grid of rural roads and the meandering courses of the West Bayou Grand Marais and Gum Gully. Small community centers like Raymond, Hathaway, and Panchoville punctuate the Jefferson Davis and Acadia Parish border, serving as hubs for the surrounding farmsteads. The southern edge of the survey captures the northern expansion of Jennings, where the land transitions from open fields to more developed outskirts. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several family-named landmarks and resting places, including Bertrand Cem, Doucet Cem, and Miller Cem. The presence of the Tiptop Canal and Middle Bayou Grand Marais illustrates the critical role of water management in this low-lying prairie region, where drainage infrastructure supports the local agricultural economy.
