Louisiana: Settlements

On your journey through American Truck Simulator’s upcoming Louisiana DLC, you won’t just be visiting major cities, you’ll also pass through quaint, rural towns full of Southern charm. Today, we’re shining a spotlight on some of these smaller communities you’ll be able to drive through or stop at along the way.


Winnfield

Located in northern Louisiana, Winnfield offers drivers a glimpse of classic Southern town life. Drivers passing through can spot local landmarks such as the Winn Parish Courthouse, a prominent building with traditional brickwork. Nearby, you can also find the town's Post Office and the First Baptist Church, which stands out with its tall and modern freestanding steeple. This town has long been shaped by its forestry industry and regional rail links, which once played a key role in its development.


Mansfield


Mansfield, Louisiana is a quiet town with deep regional roots, developed as a local hub for agriculture and trade and shaped by its position along historic travel routes. Drivers can spot several key landmarks along the way, including the De Soto School, the local bank, and the First United Methodist Church, established in 1847. The town is also known for its historical significance, with a major Civil War battle having taken place nearby.


Oberlin

Oberlin, Louisiana is a small town with big historical character. As you roll through, keep an eye out for the Allen Parish Courthouse, built in 1912 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, along with the Oberlin City Hall just down the road. Surrounded by pine forests and bayous, Oberlin offers a quick but memorable glimpse of classic Louisiana charm on your journey.


Cameron

Along Louisiana’s Gulf Coast, Cameron offers a striking shift in scenery. Located in an area frequently affected by hurricanes, this area has a rugged and weathered look. You’ll notice buildings raised on stilts, which is a practical solution for storm surges and flooding, along with visible storm damage in parts of town. Key landmarks include the Cameron Parish Library, a local school, and a bank set among shipyards and industrial lots. With boats docked nearby and storage yards along the road, Cameron has a coastal, working-town character that stands apart from inland settlements.



Tallulah

Cruising through northeastern Louisiana, drivers will find themselves surrounded by the golden patchwork of cotton, corn, soybeans, rice, and wheat fields, which surround Tallulah. Known for its deep farming roots, this scenic town showcases the agricultural heartbeat of the region. Along the way, you’ll catch sight of local landmarks like the First Baptist Church and the Madison Parish Courthouse, adding a touch of small-town charm to the open road.
