Lone Pine, Centerville, and St Landry are mostly farming communities located along the northern border of Evangeline Parish. Most of the people of the communities now have jobs in area towns since farming has become so mechanized.
In years past incomes were derived from fishing, hunting, trapping, farm and garden produce and the saw mill industry.
The lovely lands in these areas are still rich in timber and the fishing and hunting is still good all along the banks of Bayou Cocodrie and the wooded areas of the communities. Dossman Lake and the ever popular Chicot State Park also have good fishing.
