2020 Map of Oakdale

About this map

Oakdale serves as the central hub of this Allen Parish landscape, situated at the confluence of several vital waterways and a grid of residential streets. The Calcasieu River and its meandering tributaries, such as Cherrywinche Cr and Baptiste Cr, define the drainage patterns west of the town center. The map reveals a dense concentration of burial sites that provide a roadmap for local genealogical research, ranging from the large Oakdale Cem and Resthaven Cem to smaller grounds like Cryer Cem and the Sacred Heart Cem. Transportation and infrastructure are anchored by the Allen Parish Airport to the south and a network of family-named rural roads including Louis Laird Rd and Tom Quave Rd, illustrating the transition from the structured urban layout of the city to the surrounding piney woods and creek bottoms.
