2018 Map of Baskinton

About this map

Baskinton and Baskin occupy the transition from the alluvial bottomlands of the Mississippi Delta to the slightly higher ground of the Richland-Franklin Parish line. This landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where Big Creek and Hurricane Bayou wander through agricultural tracts. The map details a rural community anchored by small landmarks such as Friendship Cemetery and Pleasant Hall Cemetery, alongside several family-named roads like Bud Hilburn Road and Delmas McMurray Road. The southern portion of the sheet reveals the intersection of aviation and industry at Greg's Flying Service and Ollair Airport, situated near the Turkey Creek Cut-Off. This 2018 survey provides an intricate view of the local drainage patterns including Rowing Bayou and Open Slough, reflecting the water-managed nature of contemporary Louisiana farmland.
