2012 Map of Mamou

About this map

Mamou anchors this south-central Louisiana landscape, showing a distinctive grid of agriculture and extraction in the early twenty-first century. The surrounding Evangeline Parish countryside is defined by a dense network of local roads such as Oil Field Rd and Narcisse Rd, reflecting the regional importance of the petroleum industry evidenced by the Reddell Oil and Gas Field and the Mamou Oil Field. Rural life is centered around small hubs like Reddell and Vidrine, with scattered family landmarks including Ardoin Cem and Ortego Cem providing valuable points of reference for local historians. The low-lying terrain is drained by the winding Boggy Bayou and Grand Louis Bayou, while specialized infrastructure like the Central Farmers Coop Airport and Barber Spur highlight the intersection of commercial aviation and rail-era heritage in this working prairie landscape.
