About this map

Oberlin serves as the focal point of this Allen Parish landscape, situated near the meandering path of the Calcasieu River in the southwestern part of the state. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Tenmile Cr, Mill Cr, and Little Mill Cr, which feed into the primary river channel. These waterways are interspersed with local infrastructure like Long Gully and Chinquapin Cr, illustrating the hydrological complexity of the region.

Energy extraction is a prominent feature of the local economy and land use, evidenced by the East Mittie Gas Field to the north and the Northwest Oberlin Gas Field closer to the town center. Cultural and historical landmarks provide specific points of interest for researchers, such as the Oakland Springs Cem and the Oberlin Lookout Tower. A network of rural routes, including Camp RD, Old Main Line RD, and Tram RD, suggests a history tied to both timber and industrial transportation across this corner of Louisiana.
