About this map

Bayou Lafourche and the Boeuf River define the intricate drainage patterns of this northeast Louisiana landscape, where the boundary between Quachita Parish and Richland Parish follows the meandering course of the bayou. The settlement of Start occupies the northeastern reaches near the namesake Crew Lake, while Rhymes and Millhaven anchor the southern and northwestern corners. The terrain is marked by numerous water bodies and low-lying areas, including Bridge Brake, Water Lake, and Steep Bayou, reflecting the alluvial character of the Delta region.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by features like Hall Cem and a network of family-named roads such as Chili Baur Rd, Horace Moore Rd, and Stubbs McCormick Rd. The transition from old agricultural tracks like Overland Stage Rd to more modern infrastructure highlights the evolution of transit across these bottomlands. Drainage improvements like the Brimberry Canal further demonstrate the long-standing effort to manage the wet landscape for habitation and use.
