2020 Map of Hathaway

About this map

The low-lying coastal prairie north of Jennings is defined by an intricate network of waterways and irrigation channels essential to the region's agricultural character. This landscape is drained by the meandering West Bayou Grand Marais and Middle Bayou Grand Marais, alongside engineered features like the Tiptop Canal and Gum Gully. The settlement pattern follows a grid of parish roads, connecting small communities such as Hathaway, Raymond, and Panchoville. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family-named burial grounds, including Bertrand Cem, Doucet Cem, and Miller Cem, which are tucked away among the farmsteads. The presence of the Lake Air Service-Pine Island landing strip highlights the continued importance of aerial support for the local farming and ranching economy in this corner of Jefferson Davis Parish.
