About this map

The Calcasieu River winds through the northern reach of this Gulf Coast landscape, carved by prominent elevations such as Nevills Bluff, Lormand Bluff, and Phillips Bluff. The 1985 survey captures a period of agrarian and small-town continuity along the boundary of Allen and Jefferson Davis parishes. Small settlements like Indian Village and Edna anchor a territory defined by a complex drainage network, where the river meets the Indian Cutoff and several major bayous.

Water management and local industry are evident in the presence of the Kinder Ditch Bank Road and a localized sand pit. The landscape transitions from the river valley to the flatter southern reaches where Serpent Bayou and Bayou Serpent meander through the parish line. For those researching the local geography of the 1980s, the map provides precise locations for a Landing Strip and Steel Tower, reflecting the regional infrastructure of the era.
