2014 Map of Avery

About this map

Bayou Bartholomew winds extensively through this Lincoln County landscape, defining the character of the delta region near the small settlements of Fresno and Meroney. The map captures a complex network of waterways and drainage, including Deep Bayou, Panther Slough, and the Ladd Canal, reflecting the agricultural water management essential to the area. Local history is anchored by the Mackwee Cem and established rural communities like Avery and Rose Hill. The presence of Mattox Ford and reservoirs such as Shooks Reservoir and Pinchback Reservoir illustrate the long-standing relationship between local residents and the bayou’s floodplains. A grid of county roads, such as German Rd and Hampton Rd, connects isolated homesteads and farms to the primary corridor along AR 11 Hwy N.
