Another unsourced-but-actually-from-GNIS article. GNIS's source is "The Greater Slidell Area Chamber of Commerce City Map" (1988) but old enough topos show this as "Benard". Those topos suggest that it's another rail spot. At any rate there's no sign of a settlement here.

Delete The places sourced from local Chamber of Commerce maps and similar places might be some of the least reliable in the GNIS, and it's a bad sign if they may not have even spelled the name right.

The best way to clean up these many (some already deleted) zero-source context-free substubs for Louisiana by sock-puppeteer
Hissrap18 (
talk·contribs) is to delete them, and let competent writers start proper articles about properly documented things in due course. Anything else is an utter waste of our time.

Delete 1. Searched Google Earth and found no roads, buildings, or other infrastructure indicative of a populated place at given location of Bernard, Louisiana.
3. SCS soil map - Looked at soil map on sheet 37 of "Soil Survey of Allen Parish, Louisiana" by the Soil Conservation Service (1980). It lacks any text, symbology, and visible infrastructure (roads and buildings) indicative of a populated place. Go see
Soil Survey of Allen Parish, Louisiana. and
Internet Archive PDF file.
4. The 1952, 1:62,500, geologic map in
"Geology of Beauregard and Allen Parishes" by Holland, W.C., Hough, L.W., and Murray, G.E. (Louisiana Geological Survey) shows a place on US 165 named "Bernard" at the given coordinates. This map does not show any streets associated with it.
5. In the historic archives of newspapers.com found over 4,100 matches for "Bernard" in Allen Parish, Louisiana. Largely, the names of personsand local roads. Unable to tell if any of these refer to a populated place or not. The search for "town of Bernard" in Allen Parish, Louisiana did not return any matches.
