2018 Map of Prairieville

About this map

Bayou Manchac snakes along the boundary between East Baton Rouge, Livingston, and Ascension Parishes, anchoring a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways and evolving communities. The residential growth of Prairieville and nearby Oak Grove is clear, with dense suburban street grids expanding into former agricultural lands. In the south, the transition toward the wetlands of Saint Amant Swamp and Bluff Swamp is marked by the winding courses of Grand Goudine Bayou and Bayou Narcisse. Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped locations of local burial grounds, including the Hillman Cem and the Mount Zion Cemeteries. The infrastructure of the era is represented by the aviation facilities at Capozzoli Airport and the historical thoroughfare of Old Dutchtown Ave, which reflects the long-standing settlement patterns of communities like Dutch Town and Duplessis.
