About this map

Bayou Bartholomew meanders extensively through this Lincoln County landscape, defining the character of the terrain with its winding course and associated wetlands. This survey captures a rural landscape where agriculture is interspersed with numerous brakes and sloughs, including Gibson Brake, Avery Brake, and Campbell Brake. These features, along with Panther Slough and Mills Slough, indicate a complex alluvial environment where water management and natural drainage are central to the geography.

Small settlements such as Fresno, Avery, and Meroney serve as local hubs, connected by a network of county roads like Sorrels Ferry Rd and Good Hope Ln. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Mackwee Cem, while the western edge of the quadrangle is dominated by the waters of Cane Creek Lake. Recreational access is noted by the Cane Creek Lake Trail, reflecting the modern use of the watershed for more than just traditional farming and drainage.
