2020 Map of Kinder

About this map

Kinder serves as the primary hub for this section of Southwest Louisiana, situated at the junction of 190 and 165. The town's grid is well-defined, stretching from 1st Ave up to Kennedy Ave. The surrounding landscape is heavily marked by the irrigation and drainage infrastructure required for local agriculture, including the prominent Kinder Canal and Kinder Ditch. These man-made features weave through the natural drainage of Bayou Serpent and Bayou Alligator, reflecting the region's managed wetlands and prairies. Farther east, the small communities of Coverdale and Lauderdale sit along the parish boundary. For genealogists, the map identifies several local burial sites, such as McGee Cem northwest of town and Carter Memorial Cem to the south. The presence of numerous numbered parish roads and local routes like Eloi Ortego Rd illustrates the rural connectivity of Allen Parish and Jefferson Davis Parish in the modern era.
