2020 Map of Beekman

About this map

Bayou Bartholomew winds through the southeastern corner of this Morehouse Parish landscape, anchoring a region defined by complex wetlands and timbered lowlands. The terrain is marked by numerous brakes and sloughs, including Bussy Brake, Squeeler Brake, and the extensive White Oak Slough. These hydrologic features illustrate the natural drainage patterns of the Louisiana delta country, where seasonal water movement shaped early settlement. Small communities and family-named locales such as Beekman, Wardville, and Stevenson are connected by a network of rural roads like Sulphur Springs Rd and Crossett Rd. For genealogists, the Stevenson Cem and scattered habitations near Couters Neck and Humphreys provide essential geographic context for families tied to this corner of the state near the Arkansas border.
