2018 Map of Welsh North

About this map

Jefferson Davis Parish rice and crawfish country is defined by a intricate network of irrigation and drainage in this 2018 survey. The northern edge of Welsh anchors the map, giving way to a landscape dominated by agricultural sections and the meandering paths of E Bayou Lacassine and E Bayou Grand Marais. Small pockets of higher ground are marked by historic labels like Pine Island, while local genealogy is rooted at LaBleu Cem in the northwest corner. A grid of named parish roads, including Cormier Village Rd and Pecan Orchard Rd, reveals the family-oriented land ownership patterns typical of the Louisiana prairie. The presence of Gum Gully and Little Bayou illustrates the hydrology of this low-lying region before it transitions toward the larger coastal marshes further south.
