About this map

The low-lying alluvial plains of Franklin Parish are defined here by the winding course of Bayou Macon and its intricate network of tributaries. Settlements like Crowville and Swampers anchor the landscape, while the historical significance of the waterway is reflected in river-access points such as Chelly Landing, Kollen Landing, and the sharp bend at French Turn. The interior is marked by diverse water features including Hollywood Lake, Harris Lake, and Howell Brake, illustrating the complex hydrology typical of this Mississippi Delta region.

Local infrastructure supports both aviation and industry, from the Collier Flying Service Landing Strip to the Egypt Ferry Gas Field. For those researching family history, several burial grounds are scattered throughout the area, including Crowville Cem, Masonic Cem, and Providence Memorial Park Cem. The grid of rural roads, such as Dennard Loop and Ward III School Rd, connects these community centers across the fertile bayou country.
