About this map

Jennings and the nearby village of Roanoke serve as the primary hubs in this coastal prairie landscape of southern Louisiana. The area is defined by an intricate network of water management features, including the Jennings-Norwood Canal, Sturdivant Canal, and Broadmore Ditch, which redirect water across the low-lying terrain toward the Mermentau River and Grand Marais. These waterways reflect the region's agricultural drainage needs alongside its industrial footprint.

Energy extraction is a prominent theme, with several major fields such as the South Jennings Oil and Gas Field, Lake Arthur Oil and Gas Field, and East Lake Arthur Gas Field marking the countryside. Local history is anchored by the Greenwood Cem and Calvary Cem on the northeastern side of town, while the Jennings Airport and Jennings Golf Course show the infrastructure and recreation of the early 21st century. The map provides a detailed view of the rural road system, from Farm Supply Rd to Saint Gertrude Rd.
