The city of Jennings and the neighboring settlement of Roanoke anchor this 2020 landscape in southwestern Louisiana. The map captures a detailed street grid in the regional hub of Jennings, highlighting the central Jefferson Davis Parish Courthouse and the Sowela Technical Community College Morgan Smith Campus. Beyond the developed city center, the terrain is defined by a sophisticated system of water management and natural drainage, including the West Bayou Grand Marais, Middle Bayou Grand Marais, and the Jennings Norwood Canal. To the south and east, the Mermentau River marks the boundary near Acadia Parish. This modern survey illustrates the intersection of municipal growth and the agricultural landscape, where numerous family-named roads like Mouton Rd and Legros Rd crisscross a network of irrigation ditches and bayous.
