About this map

The Boeuf River meanders through this portion of Richland Parish, defining a landscape of low-lying wetlands and agricultural stretches. The town of Rayville serves as the primary hub, where the Masonic Cem and the John H Hooks Jr Memorial Airport sit near the crossing of major thoroughfares. To the west, the smaller settlements of Girard and Start are marked by their own community landmarks, including the Roberts Cem and the Start Cem.

Resource extraction and transport are evident throughout the quadrangle. The Girard Gas Field and Dehlco Gas Field point to the area's subterranean industry, while the Producers Spur reflects the local rail infrastructure. The terrain is deeply intertwined with water, featuring prominent brakes and sloughs such as Binion Brake, Purvis Brake, and Ash Slough, which illustrate the complex drainage patterns of the Louisiana delta.
