About this map

The eastern edges of Bogalusa meet the complex riparian landscape of the Pearl River along the state line in this 2015 record. The city's eastern expansion is visible in the suburban layouts of Lake View and the campus of the Louisiana Technical College-Sullivan Campus, while the river bottomlands remain a labyrinth of oxbows and secondary channels. Distinctive water features like Horseshoe Lake, Old Jail Lake, and Big Eddy Lake define the floodplain, flanking the elevated ground of Hamp Island and Peters Island.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local markers throughout the territory, from the centrally located Ponemah Cem to smaller, family-named sites such as Adams Cem and Miley Cem near Adams Cr. The map captures the intersection of industrial transport and natural hydrology, where Railroad Ave and the George R Carr Memorial Air Field contrast with the winding courses of Pushepatapa Creek and Bogue Lusa Creek.
