2018 Map of Summerville

About this map

Summerville anchors the southeast corner of this central Louisiana landscape, where the mixed pine and hardwood forests of LaSalle Parish are defined by an intricate network of creeks and bayous. The settlement pattern is largely shaped by the meandering Bayou Funny Louis and its various tributaries, including Mill Cr and Safety Cr. For those tracing local history, several burial grounds are scattered throughout the region, such as Summerville Cem, Squires Cem, and Little Chickasaw Cem. The landscape reveals a complex system of utility and industry-oriented roads, including Oil Field Rd, Pleasant Ridge Rd, and Landfill Rd, which cut across the varied drainage basins of Chickasaw Cr and Jumping Gully Cr. This survey illustrates the persistence of small rural communities and the essential role of the local waterway system in defining land boundaries and travel routes.
