2024 Map of Vinton

About this map

Vinton serves as the primary hub in this Calcasieu Parish landscape, characterized by a complex network of man-made waterways and natural drainages that define the local geography. The town is situated at a critical junction of transit and water management, where the Sabine Canal and Vinton Drainage Canal interface with the surrounding wetlands. Further east, the settlement of Edgerly marks the edge of this prairie-and-marsh terrain, while to the south, Ged sits near the shores of Ged Lake. The mapping reveals a distinct grid of rural roads and coulees, such as Hampton Coulee and Coon Gully, which illustrate how the land has been subdivided and drained for agricultural or industrial use. This modern topographic survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a detailed look at the contemporary infrastructure and water control systems that sustain these communities in southwest Louisiana.
