The Census records 15.7 square miles of water within St. Landry Parish, or 1.7% of its total area. That share is close to St. Landry Parish’s 1.7%. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, St. Landry Parish has 856.6 times the land area of nearby Port Barre town (1.08 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

The Census boundary meets Acadia Parish, Avoyelles Parish, Evangeline Parish, Lafayette Parish, Pointe Coupee Parish, St. Martin Parish within Louisiana. A tract near one of these lines should be matched to the county identifier on its own records.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
St. Landry Parish land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Locate the parcel within St. Landry Parish

Use a tax bill, deed, or assessor’s parcel number to pin down the land in St. Landry Parish. The county includes 15 listed community geographies; a nearby community name does not prove the parcel is inside its limits.

02

Read the Southern Holocene Meander Belts setting

Southern Holocene Meander Belts belongs to Mississippi Alluvial Plain. Which current elevation and drainage records distinguish the tract from nearby swales, levees or river terraces? The wider county also reaches Western Gulf Coastal Plain and South Central Plains; use the parcel’s location to choose the relevant setting.

03

Check the route, beyond Port Barre

Port Barre is 2.8 miles southeast of the St. Landry Parish reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

Does Southern Holocene Meander Belts describe all of St. Landry Parish?+

The county’s mapped footprint intersects 7 regional units; Southern Holocene Meander Belts is the largest mapped share. County-scale information cannot establish the soil, slope, drainage, or development potential of one tract.
