About this map

Central Avoyelles Parish is defined by its intricate drainage patterns and the historic settlements of Marksville, Mansura, and Hessmer. This 1982 provisional survey documents a landscape of numerous small lakes and coulees, notably the extensive Spring Bayou State Wildlife Management Area and the winding course of Bayou des Glaises. The industrial and transportation backbone of the area is represented by the Kansas City Southern railroad, which cuts through the heart of Mansura, and the Marksville Municipal Airport. Local genealogy is well-supported by detailed locations for community landmarks like the Jerusalem Cem and St Pauls Ch, alongside smaller settlements like Cocoville, Moreauville, and Long Bridge. The map captures the parish's unique alluvial geography, where complex water bodies like Lac aux Perles and Coulee des Grues dictate the placement of roads and farms.
