2020 Map of Iowa

About this map

Iowa serves as a primary hub in this Calcasieu Parish landscape, where the grid of agricultural roads meets the modern transportation corridors of southern Louisiana. The area is defined by a transition from the structured street plan of the town to the expansive rural reaches of Plateau Petit Bois and the drainage network of the W Fork English Bayou. Small rural settlements like Chloe, Manchester, and Bellevue dot the prairie, often centered around family-named roads such as Ardoin Rd and Dick Hebert Rd. Aviation history and local industry are marked by the O'Brien Flying Service and the Morgan Crop Service Number 2 Airport, illustrating the ongoing importance of crop dusting in this rice and crawfish country. Genealogists may find particular interest in the Saint Mary Cem located near the northwest corner, while the presence of the Indian Bayou Canal and Government Ditch highlights the intensive water management required by the local terrain.
