2020 Map of Pine Chapel

About this map

The Calcasieu River meanders through the heart of this Allen Parish landscape, defining a terrain of wetlands and complex water systems. Near the northern reach, the settlement of Pine Chapel is situated alongside its namesake Pine Chapel Cem, while the southern portion of the map includes the edge of Oberlin, the parish seat. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Mill Cr, Little Mill Cr, and Chinquapin Cr feeding into the main river channel. Local history is anchored by sites such as the Oaklin Springs Baptist Cem, located near the intersection of Parish Rd 19 and Veville Vizena RD. The map documents a network of rural routes, including Pistol Ridge Rd and S River Rd, which trace the higher ground between the frequent gullies and creek beds like Long Gully and Stines Cr.
