2024 Map of Bee Bayou

About this map

The low-lying wetlands of Bee Bayou dominate this portion of Richland Parish, where a complex network of waterways including Cow Bayou, Burns Bayou, and Cypress Creek meanders through the alluvial landscape. Settlement is concentrated along the east-west corridor between Rayville and Holly Ridge, following the historic path of early transit lines across the northern Louisiana plains. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds like Greer Cem and Sunflower Cem, the latter sitting near the boundary where Richland Parish meets Franklin Parish. The map reveals a highly developed grid of parish roads and agricultural spurs, such as Sumun Ranch Rd and Pony Greer Rd, which illustrate the modern management of this productive rural terrain south of the Big Creek drainage.
