1985 Map of Welsh North

About this map

Bayou Lacassine meanders through this agricultural landscape in Jefferson Davis Parish, defining much of the drainage pattern south of the small settlement of Pine Island. This 1985 survey captures the area just north of the Welsh Corporate Boundary, where the terrain is dominated by an extensive network of flumes, siphons, and irrigation canals essential for local rice and crawfish farming. The landscape is largely rural, marked by isolated landmarks such as a Radio Tower and a quiet Cem located in the northwest. To the east, the winding path of Gum Gully cuts through the prairie, illustrating the natural watercourses that persist alongside the modern irrigation infrastructure that has reshaped this part of Louisiana.
