2020 Map of Pine Prairie

About this map

Pine Prairie serves as the central hub of this Evangeline Parish landscape, situated amidst a dense network of bayous and rural cemeteries. The area's settlement pattern is defined by its hydrology, with Boggy Bayou, Carps Bayou, and Bayou Nezpique winding through the terrain. To the northwest, the Crooked Creek Reservoir and its associated Spillway Rd indicate significant water management efforts in the region. Smaller communities like Turkey Creek to the north and Easton to the south anchor the local geography. Family and community history is well-preserved through numerous burial sites, including Saint Peters Cem, Friendship Cem, and the Ardoin Cem near Easton. The map also reveals the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, from the local timber-related Forestry Dr to the recreational access at Sand Beach along the reservoir.
