2015 Map of Bear Skin

About this map

Bear Skin and Newhope anchor this landscape along the winding boundary between West Carroll and Morehouse parishes. The terrain is defined by a dense network of slow-moving waterways, including the prominent Boeuf River and the meandering Big Colewa Creek. The survey reveals a rural grid of local roads named for established families, such as Babcock Rd, Watts Rd, and Alderman Rd, which provide access to the agricultural tracts between the bayous. Farther east, Indian Bayou and Hurricane Cr drain the lowlands, illustrating the complex hydrology of this part of northern Louisiana. The confluence of Little Colewa Cr and smaller tributaries like Cane Bayou suggests a land deeply influenced by seasonal water movement and established parish lines.
