1996 Map of Moreauville

About this map

The floodplain of the Bayou Des Glaises defines the settlement patterns and agricultural layout of this corner of Avoyelles Parish. In the mid-1990s, the landscape remained deeply tied to its watercourses, with the primary towns of Moreauville and Hamburg positioned near the complex network of the Drainage Canal and Bayou Roseau. The map reveals a high density of religious and community landmarks, particularly churches like Sacred Heart Ch and Our Lady of Sorrow Ch, which reflect the region's cultural heritage. Large-scale conservation efforts are visible in the north and east, where the Spring Bayou State Wildlife Management Area and Pomme de Terre State Wildlife Management Area preserve the native Pomme de Terre Swamp and numerous oxbow features like Coco Lake and Lac Didier.
