2020 Map of Collinston West

About this map

Collinston and the rural stretches of Morehouse Parish define this landscape, where agricultural fields meet the complex wetlands of the Louisiana backcountry. The map traces the boundary between Morehouse and Ouachita Parishes as it winds through a network of bayous and brakes, including the significant Wham Brake and Mayhaw Brake. Small, established settlements like Spyker, Marcarco, and Windsor are scattered across the terrain, connected by a grid of parish roads that follow the rise and fall of the local topography. For those researching family history, the map identifies several local burial sites such as Pine Grove Cem, Pickett Family Cem, and Wham Ridge Cem. Water is a constant presence, with Staulkinghead Cr, Jordan Cr, and Stink Creek threading through the lower-lying areas, illustrating the drainage patterns that have historically shaped land use and settlement in this part of the Mississippi Delta region.
