2015 Map of Welsh North

About this map

The agricultural lands of Jefferson Davis Parish north of Welsh are defined by a network of drainage bayous and geometric road grids. The landscape is characterized by the meandering courses of Little Bayou and E Bayou Lacassine, which contrast with the straight alignments of local thoroughfares like Cormier Village Rd and Pecan Orchard Rd. This 2015 survey reveals a terrain managed for rice or crawfish production, common to this part of the Louisiana prairie, where waterways like Gum Gully and E Bayou Grand Marais provide essential irrigation and drainage. Small-scale landmarks and historic markers include LaBleu Cem in the northwest and the small community of Pine Island to the northeast. The map provides a contemporary record of property divisions and rural infrastructure, from a Radio Tower Rd to the various parish roads that partition the townships.
