2012 Map of Bonita

About this map

Bonita serves as the central hub of this Morehouse Parish landscape, situated where the lowlands meet a network of intricate waterways. The geography is defined by the winding course of Bayou Bartholomew and the elongated reaches of Bayou Bonne Idee, which together dictate the drainage and settlement patterns of the region. The map reveals a history of river-dependent commerce through multiple designated landings, including Haynes Landing, Oak Landing, and New Landgrove Landing, suggesting a long-standing relationship with the bayous for transport and trade. Inland, the area is crisscrossed by a dense grid of local routes and trails, such as Chitlin Trl and Oscar Franklin Trl, reflecting the agricultural and timber-related infrastructure common to northern Louisiana. Near the northern boundary, Horseshoe Lake remains a prominent landmark within the bend of the bayou, while the Jones Po area marks an established community node near the eastern edge.
