2018 Map of Soileau

About this map

Sonnier Bayou and Cyrus Gully define the low-lying hydrology of this Allen Parish landscape, where agriculture and rural habitation follow a network of parish roads. The settlement of Soileau serves as a central point for the surrounding community, while the edge of Oberlin appears in the northwest. Local family history is rooted in the presence of several burial grounds, including Sonnier Cem near Sonnier Bayou and Cole Cem further south. The map reflects a landscape organized by the Public Land Survey System, with township lines like t5s r3w and t6s r4w dividing the territory. Transportation is dominated by local routes such as Powell Rd and Bel Oil Rd, indicating the importance of local access to the bayous and interior lands. In the southern portion, Saint Peters Cem and Camp Coyote Rd provide additional points of interest for those studying the social and physical geography of this corner of Louisiana.
