2018 Map of Lecompte

About this map

Lecompte sits at the intersection of road and water in Rapides Parish, where Bayou Boeuf and Rattlesnake Bayou wind through a landscape defined by its wetlands and small settlements. The transition from the open waters of the Indian Cr Reservoir in the northwest to the dense Beaver Creek Swamp in the south illustrates the complex hydrology of the region. Scattered throughout the quadrangle are numerous family and community burial sites, including the Wilmer Memorial Cem, Ballard Cem, and Pisgah Cem, which offer significant touchpoints for genealogical research. The map captures the distinct character of communities like Forest Hill and Meeker, linked by a network of rural roads such as Sugarmill Rd and Booker Fowler Rd. This survey reflects the modern geography of the area, balancing the established townships with the enduring natural features of the Bayou Cocodrie drainage system.
