About this map

Bayou Boeuf meanders through the eastern portion of this Louisiana landscape, anchoring the settlements of Lecompte and Meeker. The area is characterized by a transition from the structured residential blocks of the town centers to the sprawling wetlands of Beaver Creek Swamp and Mathews Brake. This 2020 record of Rapides Parish highlights a dense network of family and community landmarks, particularly evident in the high concentration of burial sites such as Wilmer Memorial Cem, Ballard Cem, and Pisgah Cem.

Transportation corridors like Chickamaw Rd and the central interstate highway bisect the terrain, connecting the upland forests near Forest Hill with the bottomland systems. Water management is a visible priority across the quadrangle, from the Indian Creek Reservoir in the northwest to the complex drainage of Calahan Bayou and Rattlesnake Bayou, illustrating the enduring relationship between the local topography and the water that shapes it.
