2018 Map of Beekman

About this map

Beekman and the surrounding Morehouse Parish countryside are defined by a complex network of slow-moving waterways and low-lying basins. The southern portion of this landscape is dominated by the Bussy Brake and Ward Brake reservoirs, while the eastern edge follows the winding course of Bayou Bartholomew. These wetlands are interspersed with higher ground such as Prairie de Butte, where early settlement patterns are visible through family-named landmarks and old transport routes. Small communities like Stevenson, Vaughn, and Wardville are connected by a web of local roads and trails, including the descriptive Long Lonesome Rd and White Line Rd. Genealogists will find the Stevenson Cem noted near the center of the survey area, reflecting the long-standing rural neighborhoods that have persisted alongside the region's managed waterways and agricultural tracts.
