About this map

The Calcasieu River meanders through this Allen Parish landscape, serving as a central geographic anchor for the city of Oakdale. In the late 20th century, the area demonstrates a mix of industrial activity and conservation, with a refinery and sewage disposal facilities situated near the riverbanks, while the expansive West Bay SWMA occupies the western portion of the quadrangle. The transport network is characterized by the Old Railroad Grade and multiple aviation sites, including Oakdale Municipal Airport and Murray Airport.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of rural landmarks, such as Cryer Cem and Sacred Heart Cem. Scattered country churches like Oak Hill Ch, Pentecostal Ch, and Mt Vernon Ch define the community's traditional centers outside the main township. The presence of a High Sch and Po within the town grid provides a clear picture of the civic infrastructure serving this timber and river-dependent region during this era.
