2012 Map of Neale

About this map

The Neale Oil Field and East Neale Gas Field define the industrial footprint of this Beauregard Parish landscape in the early 21st century. The terrain is a network of slow-moving waterways including Trout Cr, Beckwith Cr, and Bridge Cr, which feed into the low-lying Persimmon Marsh. Small settlements like Neale and Pujo are connected by a rural road system often named for local families, such as Addie T Nations Rd and Paul McMillian Rd. Historical continuity is anchored by the Cooper Cem, situated near the crossing of Trout Cr north of the main oil operations. The map illustrates a quiet transition between resource extraction and the natural drainage patterns of the coastal plain, with numerous small loops and spurs serving isolated homesteads and drilling sites.
