About this map

Joes Bayou and Tensas Bayou dominate this alluvial landscape in East Carroll Parish, where the complex drainage of the Mississippi Delta is evident in the many winding waterways. The terrain is defined by a dense network of secondary streams such as Baxter Bayou, Jump Log Bayou, and Maiden Doe Bayou. These features illustrate the historical hydrology of the region, where slight variations in elevation created landmarks like Lost Island.

A network of local routes, including New Light Rd, Voting Booth Rd, and Lanes Ferry Rd, provides access to the agricultural tracts between the bayous. The presence of Caraway Lake in the southern portion of the map highlights the localized depressions typical of this flood-prone environment. The boundary between West Carroll and East Carroll parishes is clearly marked, following the path of Baxter Bayou as it meanders through the fertile bottomlands.
