2012 Map of Indian Village

About this map

The Calcasieu River meanders through this portion of Allen Parish, defining a landscape of wetlands and river bluffs. Settled points of interest follow the high ground along the water, including Phillips Bluff, Lormand Bluff, and Nevils Bluff. The namesake Indian Village sits near the Indian Cutoff, reflecting the historical river-oriented development of the region. Local genealogy is anchored by the Nevil Cem and small settlements like Gravel Point, Edna, and Fontenot. Beyond the river banks, the interior is shaped by industrial energy extraction, marked by the North Indian Village Gas Field and the Southwest Kinder Gas Field. The road network, with names like Old Ferry Rd and Martin Tram Rd, hints at earlier eras of river crossings and timber transport.
