2018 Map of Walls

About this map

The Mississippi River defines the landscape of this Louisiana quadrangle, winding through a complex network of chutes and bends including Mallet Bend and Profit Island Chute. Along the western bank, the settlements of Chamberlin, Smithfield, and Devalls are situated amidst a patchwork of agricultural land and bayous. The map highlights the significant presence of water features like Tiger Bayou and Stumpy Bayou, which drain the low-lying terrain. To the north, the small community of Arbroth and the Alford Cem provide specific points for genealogical research. The presence of Profit Island within the river channel suggests the dynamic nature of the waterway, while the Omni Airport near Carey indicates more modern infrastructure development in West Baton Rouge Parish.
