About this map

Calcasieu River meanders through this portion of Southwest Louisiana, defining a landscape marked by high banks and water-carved transitions. Historically significant locations like Indian Village and the nearby Nevils Cem point to long-standing settlement patterns along the river's edge. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent overlooks including Nevils Bluff, Lormand Bluff, and Phillips Bluff, which provide topographical contrast to the surrounding lowlands.

Industry and transport are visible through features like Gravel Point and a network of parish roads such as Old Ferry Rd and Martin Tram Rd, indicating a history of timber and resource extraction. The boundary between Allen Parish and Jefferson Davis Parish cuts horizontally across the map, separating the northern settlements like Stanley from southern locales such as Edna. Smaller waterways, including Cow Bayou and Bayou Serpent, drain the forested interior, creating a complex hydrologic network that has shaped the local rural economy.
