About this map

The Calcasieu River defines the upper portion of this southwest Louisiana landscape, winding past a series of named riverside bluffs such as Phillips Bluff, Nevils Bluff, and Lormand Bluff. This 2018 survey captures the interface of Allen and Jefferson Davis parishes, characterized by the dense network of bayous and gullies that drain the low-lying prairie and timberland. The small settlement of Indian Village and the historic Nevil Cem serve as key landmarks for local researchers, while the winding Bayou Serpent and Bunchs Cr crisscross the central wetlands.

Transportation patterns are dominated by local roads named for established families, including Smokey Savant Rd and Alex Lormand Rd, reflecting long-standing land ownership in the region. The presence of Old Ferry Rd near the Indian Cutoff points to historical river crossings that predate modern bridges. Further east, the map details the small communities of Edna and Fontenot, showing the transition from the river bottomlands to more developed agricultural and rural residential tracts.
