About this map

Bayou Macon snakes through this alluvial landscape, defining the western edge of a region characterized by complex water systems and family-held agricultural lands. The small settlements of Como, Lorelein, and Griffin serve as anchors within this rural expanse, connected by a network of roads that often bear the names of local inhabitants, such as Wardell Reeves Rd and Frank Eckard Rd. The geography is defined by its depressions and brakes, including Wileys Brake and Snyder Brake, which suggest the historic flood patterns of the nearby Tensas River along the eastern parish boundary.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved in the landscape, such as State Place Cem, Ward Cem, and Eureka Cem. The transition from the bayou banks to the open wetlands of Board Tree Lake and Big Cow Lake illustrates the seasonal nature of the terrain. This survey provides a precise record of late-2010s land use, where long-established property lines and drainage patterns continue to shape the community's layout.
