2020 Map of Welsh North

About this map

Welsh and the surrounding agricultural lands of Jefferson Davis Parish are defined by an intricate network of drainage and transport at the start of the 2020s. The landscape is characterized by its reliance on water management, featuring several significant waterways such as E Bayou Lacassine and E Bayou Grand Marais, which weave through the prairie alongside Gum Gully. These natural bayous are interspersed with a rigid grid of local roads named for prominent families and landmarks, such as Cormier Village Rd and Pecan Orchard Rd. North of the main settlement, the community of Pine Island sits along Litteral Rd. The presence of the LeBleu Cem in the northwestern corner provides a fixed point for genealogical research in this coastal prairie region, reflecting the long-standing French and Acadian heritage that shaped the rural road network and township boundaries.
