About this map

Oberlin serves as the focal point of this Allen Parish landscape, situated near the headwaters of the Calcasieu River. The settlement pattern reflects a mixture of agricultural roots and significant energy extraction, evidenced by the South Oberlin Oil Field and the Pilgrim Church Gas Field. Local infrastructure is marked by a grid of rural roads like Ward Line Rd and Nursery Rd, which connect smaller communities such as Bernard, Elder, and Lyles.

For those researching local history or genealogy, several community landmarks are preserved here, including the Oberlin Lookout Tower and a series of burial grounds like Saint Lukes Cem and Green Oak Cem. The presence of the Wilder Airport and the Koasati Pines at Coushatta indicates the area's evolving land use into the early 21st century, while family names like J J Stoker Rd and George Lawrence Rd ground the topography in the local heritage of the region.
