About this map

Holmwood stands as the primary settlement within this southwestern Louisiana landscape, where the flat coastal plains meet an intricate system of drainage canals and coulees. The terrain is defined by its agricultural layout, with long-established road networks like Fruge Rd and Robinson Rd following the township and range lines. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the Indian Bayou Levee Canal and the meandering path of Jacques Coulee. To the west, the label Plateau Petit Bois indicates a distinct topographical rise in an otherwise low-lying region. Aviation history is noted by the presence of the Bruce Beard Airport, while the southern boundary follows the line between Calcasieu Parish and Cameron Parish near the headwaters of Bayou Serpent.
