2020 Map of Congo Creek

About this map

Big Colewa Creek and its companion Little Colewa Cr dominate this drainage landscape along the border of West Carroll Parish and Richland Parish. The area is defined by a dense grid of rural parish roads and section lines that provide access to the bottomlands and agricultural tracts typical of this part of Louisiana. The transition between the parishes is marked by Parish Rd 1172 and Parish Rd 1, which cut through a network of small waterways including Boggy Bayou and Congo Cr. This 2020 edition reveals the persistence of family-named thoroughfares such as Mitchner Rd, Myers Rd, and Alan Thompson Rd, which reflect the long-standing land ownership and residential patterns of the region. The map captures the intricate hydrology of the eastern portion of the parish, where Big Creek and E Fork Cr gather runoff from the surrounding fields.
