2020 Map of Baxter Bayou
USGS Topo · Published 2020About this map
Bayou Macon winds through this agricultural landscape on the border of West and East Carroll Parishes, its path punctuated by the Lanes Ferry Bridge and nearby Cockspur Lake. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of waterways, including Lyon Bayou, Baxter Bayou, and Russell Bayou, which suggest a long history of drainage management and flood control in these fertile lowlands. Along the western edge, the outskirts of Oak Grove appear, while the southeastern section features the Lone Star Cem and Cypress Brake. This survey reveals the persistent reliance on parish roads and ferry-named crossings to navigate the bayou-riven landscape. The presence of Tensas Ditch and Tensas Bayou further illustrates the complex hydrological engineering required to support the local farming economy in this corner of Louisiana.
