2015 Map of Kinder

About this map

Kinder serves as the primary hub in this southwest Louisiana landscape, where the town’s grid meets a network of rural routes and water management features. The area's agricultural and drainage history is evident through the presence of the Kinder Canal and Kinder Ditch, which cut through the level terrain alongside natural waterways like Bayou Serpent and Gum Bayou. Small settlements such as Fontenot, Coverdale, and Lauderdale are scattered across the parish lines, connected by family-named thoroughfares including Clyde Duplechaid Rd and Guillory Rd. The map also documents the Allen Parish and Jefferson Davis Parish boundary, which follows Parish Line Rd. Local heritage is anchored by sites like McGee Cem and landmarks accessed via Kinder Cemetery Rd, reflecting the generational footprint of families settled in this prairie and bayou region.
