2015 Map of Iowa

About this map

The town of Iowa serves as a primary hub in Calcasieu Parish, showing a dense grid of residential streets like S Thompson St and Railroad Ave that reflect its historical growth along the transit corridor. The surrounding landscape is defined by a sophisticated network of agricultural and drainage infrastructure, including the W Fork English Bayou, Indian Bayou Canal, and Government Ditch. This 2015 survey illustrates how traditional settlements like Chloe, Manchester, and Bellevue are integrated into a region where industrial and agricultural interests coincide, as seen at the Morgan Crop Service Number 2. The southwestern portion of the sheet is marked by the distinct elevation of Plateau Petit Bois, contrasting with the lower-lying drainage basins that support the local prairie and agricultural economy. Smaller communities such as Bon Air, Chalkley, and Holmwood are connected by a grid of rural roads and highways, including the prominent Gerstner Memorial Dr.
