About this map

Bayou Macon defines the western edge of this territory, marking the boundary between West Carroll and East Carroll Parishes. The landscape is a complex network of waterways, characterized by the winding paths of Joes Bayou and Tensas Bayou as they meander through the low-lying terrain. This region is defined by its drainage patterns, where smaller tributaries like Loggy Bayou, Jump Log Bayou, and Dry Prong Bayou feed into larger systems.

Caraway Lake sits south of a significant bend in Joes Bayou, while Lost Island appears as a notable landform in the northeastern corner near the confluence of local bayous. The map captures a rural environment structured by parish roads such as Lanes Ferry Rd and Huey Rd, which connect isolated homesteads and agricultural tracts across the alluvial plain. The intricate hydrography, including Bull Bayou and Maiden Doe Bayou, reflects a landscape where water and soil have long dictated the patterns of human settlement and transport.
