About this map

Plaucheville serves as the central hub of this Avoyelles Parish landscape, where the town's grid meets the historic Plaucheville Cem. The geography is defined by a dense network of bayous, including the winding Bayou Choupique and Bayou Jack, which drain the low-lying terrain. To the east, the massive West Atchafalaya Floodway dominates the horizon, separated from the agricultural lands by a prominent levee system.

The rural character of the area is further evidenced by a web of local routes named for area families and landmarks, such as Levi Gremillion Rd and Moncrief Plantation Ln. Small settlements like Bodoc and Dupont are scattered along these roads, while Wd Flyers Airport and the settlement of Rosewood sit in the northeastern corner. This survey illustrates the persistent relationship between southern Louisiana's water systems and its residential patterns.
