2024 Map of Ashly

About this map

The Mississippi River winds through this alluvial landscape on the border of Louisiana and Mississippi, defining a terrain shaped by historical flooding and river migration. Evidence of the river's changing course is visible in features like the Marshall Cutoff and the Forest Home Chute, while the Cabin Teele Crevasse indicates a specific point of past levee failure. The map covers a segment of Madison Parish and Warren County, where agricultural lands are protected by an extensive levee system. Small settlements like Ashly, Peelers, and Barnes anchor the rural road network, which includes Thomastown Rd and Duckport Rd. Genealogists may find interest in the Glen Mary Cem located near the center of the survey. The geography is further defined by substantial water bodies such as Eagle Lake and Grassy Lake, along with the prominent Australia Island situated in a large river bend.
