2024 Map of Bogalusa East

About this map

The Pearl River winds through this landscape on the border of Louisiana and Mississippi, creating a complex network of oxbows and islands including Hamp Island and Peters Island. Near the industrial and residential core of Bogalusa, the map reveals a community defined by its proximity to these waters, with Bogue Lusa Creek and Coburn Creek feeding into the main river channel. Local genealogy is well-supported by several burial grounds, from the large Ponemah Cem to the rural Kennedy Cem and Miley Cem. Education and regional services are anchored by the Northshore Technical Community College Sullivan Campus and the George R Carr Memorial Air Field. The map also captures the eastern settlement of Crossroads and a series of distinct water bodies like Old Jail Lake and Horseshoe Lake, illustrating the transition from the city's street grid to the swampy lowlands.
