About this map

The parish seat of Jennings serves as the focal point of this southwestern Louisiana landscape, where the urban grid meets an intricate network of agricultural drainage and natural waterways. To the west lies the community of Roanoke, situated along the southern edge of the Interstate corridor. The geography is defined by the slow-moving waters of West Bayou Grand Marais, Middle Bayou Grand Marais, and Bayou Chene, which weave through the low-lying prairie toward the Mermentau River at the southeastern edge of the survey area.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by Greenwood Cem and Calvary Cem on the eastern side of town. The map documents the region's transport infrastructure, from the Jennings Airport to the Jennings Norwood Canal, alongside numerous named rural routes like Mouton Rd, Krielow Rd, and Ward Line Rd. This survey captures the transition between the developed core and the vast rice and crawfish fields that define the economy of Jefferson Davis Parish.
