2024 Map of Congo Creek

About this map

Little Colewa Creek and Big Colewa Creek define the low-lying wetlands of Louisiana's northeast corner, where the boundary between Richland Parish and West Carroll Parish shifts across the agricultural landscape. The terrain is a complex network of bayous and drainages, notably Boggy Bayou and Congo Creek, that have historically dictated the placement of rural roads and homesteads. Local family names and small-scale geographic identifiers appear throughout the grid, such as Goose Hollow Rd, Clack Rd, and Myers Rd. These parish roads connect isolated farmsteads across the township lines of T18N and T19N, illustrating the persistent land-use patterns of the Mississippi Delta region where drainage and field access remain the primary drivers of infrastructure.
