About this map

The Mermentau River winds through this Jefferson Davis Parish landscape, anchoring a series of small Cajun prairie settlements. In the center of the sheet, the town of Mermentau sits at the junction of the river and the Old Spanish Trl, supported by the Mermentau Water Treatment Facility. To the east, the communities of Midland and Egan highlight the region's agricultural and industrial dual-identity, with the latter serving as a hub for the Egan Oil and Gas Field.

Deeply tied to local genealogy, the map identifies several smaller landmarks and family burial sites including the Quebodaux Cem, Le Blanc Cem, and the Indian Cem. The inclusion of the Quebodaux Ferry site suggests a long history of river crossings before modern infrastructure. The landscape is heavily marked by the energy sector, featuring expansive production areas like the Southwest Mermentau Gas Field and the Andrus Cove Gas Field.
