2020 Map of Crew Lake

About this map

Bayou Lafourche meanders through the heart of the landscape along the Ouachita Parish and Richland Parish line, defining a region where water and transport networks are deeply intertwined. The map showcases the eastern edge of Monroe and the smaller settlement of Millhaven to the north, while the rural south is anchored by the Rhymes community. The terrain is characterized by intricate wetlands and drainage patterns, including Water Lake, Bridge Brake, and Steep Bayou. Local history is preserved in the location of the Hall Cem and the naming of roads that hint at past transit routes, such as the Overland Stage Rd near Crew Lake. The presence of the Brimberry Canal and the Boeuf River indicates a long-standing reliance on managed waterways to navigate this low-lying alluvial plain.
