Wham Brake and the surrounding wetlands of Morehouse Parish dominate this 2024 landscape, where the low-lying drainage of Sandy Lick Bayou and Staulkinghead Creek meets the elevated terrain of Wham Ridge. This area is characterized by a mix of agricultural fields and significant brake and slough formations, such as Mayhaw Brake and Carney Slough, which have historically shaped the settlement patterns of small communities like Wham and Spyker. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it preserves the locations of several family and community burial grounds, including the Pickett Family Cem, Pine Grove Cem, and Howell Cem. Modern road networks like New Monroe Rd and Old Monroe Rd follow the natural topography, linking established settlements like Collinston and Marcarco across the parish line.
