2018 Map of Cane Bayou

About this map

Steele Bayou and Cane Bayou weave through the alluvial lowlands of the Mississippi River delta, marking a landscape defined by its complex drainage network and shifting parish and county lines. This 2018 survey documents the interface between Warren County and Issaquena County, extending south to the curve of Eagle Lake and the border of Madison Parish, Louisiana. The geography is characterized by seasonal wetlands and an intricate web of rural access routes like Newman Road and Anderson Tully Road, which serve the timberlands and hunting grounds typical of the region. The map highlights the hydrographic features of the basin, including Cypress Lake and Muddy Bayou, illustrating how water dictates land use and accessibility in this corner of the Deep South.
