2024 Map of Jena West

About this map

The LaSalle Parish Courthouse stands as the civic anchor in Jena, the primary hub of this central Louisiana landscape. The area is defined by a dense network of timberlands and small settlements like Trout, Good Pine, and Midway, which developed historically around the regional lumber industry. This 2024 survey captures a rural environment where numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Mount Sinai Cem and Taylor Chapel Cem, are preserved among the watersheds of Bayou Funny Louis and Hemphill Creek. The map details a landscape transitioning from the traditional town centers to more dispersed rural residential patterns, including the Webb Quarters and the community of Fellowship. Aviation and education infrastructure are clearly marked at the Jena Airport and Jena High School, reflecting the modern development that continues to shape the Parish's seat of government.
