2011 Map of Beedeville

About this map

Beedeville and McFadden anchor this landscape in Jackson County, where the agricultural grid meets the winding waters of Bayou De View. The map illustrates a region defined by its drainage and irrigation network, featuring systems like the May Branch Lateral and Threemile Creek that support the surrounding farmlands. This 2011 survey is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it meticulously identifies several local burial sites, including Eight Mile Cemetery, Walker Cemetery, Dale Cemetery, Jones Cemetery, and Givens Cemetery. The eastern portion of the sheet is characterized by the complex hydrology of Old Forked Slough and several unnamed water bodies, while the western edge is bounded by the Cache River. A dense network of local roads, such as Grindstone Ridge Rd and Ben Dawson Rd, connects these rural communities and family landmarks, providing a clear picture of the modern road system imposed over the traditional Delta landscape.
