About this map

Port Barre serves as the focal point of this St. Landry Parish survey, situated at the complex junction where Bayou Courtableau and Bayou Teche converge. The landscape is defined by its intricate drainage patterns, with numerous sloughs like Noel Slough and DeJean Slough cutting through the terrain between the waters of Bayou Saquette and the Little Darbonne Bayou. This 2012 record captures the area's agricultural and industrial layout, notably the Port Barre Oil and Gas Field to the southeast and the Yankee Field Airport to the northwest.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by specific landmarks such as Saquette Cem and De Viller Cem, alongside small rural settlements including Chiasson, Hazelwood, and Darbonne. The grid of local roads, such as Mouille Rd and Queredeaux Rd, illustrates the persistent settlement patterns in this part of Louisiana's bayou country, while the course of Bayou Little Teche marks the southwestern boundary of the central town area.
