About this map

Alexandria and its southern suburbs define this part of Rapides Parish, where the urban grid gives way to a complex system of bayous and agricultural land. The landscape is dominated by the meandering paths of Bayou Robert and Bayou Boeuf, which cut through the fertile alluvial plain. This 2020 record highlights the significant footprint of Louisiana State University Alexandria in the community of Chambers, positioned between the growing residential areas of Moreland and Lamourie.

The western edge of the map features the dense woodlands of the Kisatchie National Forest, contrasting with the more developed corridors along the Old Baton Rouge Hwy. Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community burial grounds, such as Figgins Cem, Cloverdale Cem, and Saint John Cem, which remain as permanent markers of the area's rural heritage. To the south, the Indian Creek Reservoir provides a major water feature alongside the smaller, named sloughs like Harris Slough and Plantation Slough that drain the low-lying terrain.
