About this map

Bayou Chicot and the northern reaches of Chicot State Park define this part of Evangeline Parish, where the landscape transitions into a complex network of waterways and wetlands. The community of Saint Landry sits near the eastern edge, supported by the flow of Bayou Cocodrie and Black Lake Bayou. To the north, Dossman and the winding course of Bayou Taureau highlight the traditional settlement patterns of the region, which are deeply tied to the local hydrology.

Family history is preserved through a significant distribution of rural burial sites, including Chaney Cem, Vanburg Cem, and Fergerson Cem, often located near older road traces like Stagecoach Rd. Recreational and youth development areas are prominent features of the terrain, specifically the Mountain Bayou Scout Camp on the shores of Mountain Bayou Lake and the Chicota Youth Camp. Large bodies of water such as Lake Chicot and Millers Lake dominate the southern half of the map, illustrating the area's importance for local drainage and environmental preservation.
