USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
The low-lying alluvial plains of Rapides Parish are defined by an intricate network of waterways like Bayou Boeuf and Bayou Lamourie as they appeared in the late 1950s. The landscape is a mix of agricultural intensity and managed timberland, with the Kisatchie National Forest and Alexander State Forest occupying the western uplands. Transport infrastructure dominates the valley floor, where the Missouri Pacific and Texas and Pacific railroads parallel the bayous, connecting settlements like Lecompte and Cheneyville.
