2024 Map of Bedford
USGS Topo · Published 2024About this map
Davis Island dominates this stretch of the Mississippi River where the state lines of Louisiana and Mississippi follow the winding, historic path of the water. The landscape is defined by the hydrologic shifts of the river, marked by oxbows and secondary channels like Palmyra Lake and Palmyra Chute. Small settlements and landing points such as Bedford and King sit along the periphery of these massive bends. Local history is anchored by several family and community burial grounds, including Crystal Springs Cem, Brierfield Cem, and Hodges Cem. The terrain is a complex network of bayous and drainage canals, such as Roundaway Bayou and Hodges Canal, illustrating the ongoing effort to manage the alluvial plains. This survey captures a remote riverfront environment where island bars like Newton Bend Bar and Ursino Bar continue to shift with the current.
