2015 Map of Welsh South

About this map

Welsh serves as the primary hub of this Jefferson Davis Parish landscape, exhibiting a dense residential grid defined by streets such as Millard St and S Elm St. The area's agricultural and aviation heritage is clear, with both the Welsh Airport and the specialized Ag Aviation Airport supporting the surrounding fields. The low-lying terrain is meticulously managed by a network of waterways, including the winding course of East Bayou Lacassine and the engineered paths of the Welsh Canal and Niblett Canal. To the east, the settlement of Roanoke sits along the rail corridor, while the Foreman Cem provides a point of genealogical interest south of the main town. The map reveals a transition from the structured blocks of the town center to the vast, water-fed agricultural tracts drained by Bayou Chene, illustrating the region's long-standing reliance on irrigation and drainage for its prairie-based economy.
