2012 Map of Ashburn

About this map

The Mississippi River corridor dominates this Pike County landscape, defined by a complex network of backwaters, sloughs, and riverine islands. Small riverbank settlements such as Ashburn and Mundy Landing provide access to the water, while the interior is dotted with family and community burial grounds including Centenary Cemetery, Jolly Cemetery, and Schindler Cemetery. The topography reveals the hydrologic heritage of the region, where the Salt River meanders toward its confluence, passing Horseshoe Lake and the Ashburn Bridge. This area is characterized by significant conservation efforts within the Ted Shanks Wildlife Mgt Area, protecting the varied aquatic environments of The Sny and Hadley-McCraney-Diversion-Ditch that manage the floodplain's drainage.
