About this map

Northeast Bon Air Gas Field and several neighboring petroleum sites define the landscape of Jefferson Davis Parish in this early 21st-century survey. The terrain is a network of industrial extraction and agricultural drainage, anchored by the Indian Bayou Canal and the meandering channels of W Bayou Lacassine. Small settlements and community gathering points like Lacassine, Verret, and Foremans Hall serve as the primary hubs for the surrounding rural roads.

Aviation interests are represented by the Light Plane Flyers Airfield and O'Brien Flying Service Airport, while local genealogy is grounded at Broussard Cem and Lorrain Cem. The map's grid of section roads and lateral canals reveals the systematic development of the coastal prairie, where energy production such as the South Iowa Oil Field and East Bell City Gas Field coexist with traditional land use patterns.
