Source-derived summary

The following is a list of state highways in the U.S. state of Louisiana designated in the 1200–1299 range.

All are owned and maintained by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (La DOTD). The routes up to and including LA 1241 were designated in the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering. The remainder have been added to the system in numerical order as needed, beginning with LA 1242 in 1998. All but thirteen of the routes on this list are proposed for deletion as part of La DOTD's Road Transfer Program.

Louisiana Highway 1200

Louisiana Highway 1200 (LA 1200) runs 10.00 miles (16.09 km) in a general north–south direction from the intersection of two local roads in Wilda to a junction with LA 1 in Boyce. The highway is bannered as an east–west route as it intersects two major north–south routes (I-49 and LA 1). With the exception of the portion north of I-49, LA 1200 is currently proposed for deletion as part of La DOTD's Road Transfer Program.

The entire highway is in Rapides Parish.

Louisiana Highway 1201

Louisiana Highway 1201 (LA 1201) runs 0.14 miles (0.23 km) in a north–south direction along Alexander Street from Johnson Street to LA 121 in Hot Wells.
