Bayou Cocodrie and the Boeuf current define this portion of St. Landry Parish, where a complex network of waterways and diversion channels once managed the low-lying prairie and swamp. Small agrarian settlements such as Whiteville, Barbreck, and Gold Dust are connected by the Southern Pacific and Texas and Pacific railroads, reflecting a mid-century economy built on rail transport and resource extraction. The landscape is marked by community infrastructure, including the Whiteville Sch and several country churches like Mt Zion Ch and Pilgrim Ch.
