About this map

Oakdale serves as the central hub of this Allen Parish landscape, situated near the winding course of the Calcasieu River. The map reveals a community deeply connected to its regional transportation and aviation infrastructure, evidenced by the presence of three distinct facilities: Oakdale Municipal Airport, Murray Airport, and Allen Parish Airport. This density of airfields suggests the town's role as a vital waypoint in southwestern Louisiana.

A network of local roads such as Old River Mill Rd, Hargrove Farm Rd, and Thigpen Rd connects the residential core to the surrounding wetlands and timberlands. Genealogists and local historians will find several established burial grounds documented, including Oakdale Cem, Sacred Heart Cem, and Cryer Cem. The hydrology is dominated by numerous tributaries feeding into the main river system, such as Baptiste Cr and Beaver Cr, which shape the rural property boundaries and low-lying terrain outside the city limits.
