2020 Map of Como

About this map

Bayou Macon and the Tensas River define the fertile bottomlands of this region along the Franklin and Tensas Parish line. Small rural settlements like Como, Lorelein, and Griffin anchor the agricultural landscape, which is crisscrossed by a network of drainage ways including Wards Bayou, Long Bayou, and Sandy Bayou. The map reveals a land heavily shaped by water and tradition, where numerous brakes and lakes—such as Snyder Brake, Wileys Brake, Board Tree Lake, and Middle Lake—pockmark the terrain between cultivated fields. For those tracing local family history, several burial grounds are documented, including Ward Cem, Eureka Cem, and the State Place Cem. The road network, featuring names like Wardell Reeves Rd and Frank Eckard Rd, reflects the deep-rooted personal and family connections that characterize this Mississippi Delta landscape.
