About this map

Crowville and the winding course of Bayou Macon anchor this survey of the Franklin Parish interior. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, where the main bayou is flanked by older water features like French Turn and Macon Cutoff Number 2. Small, dispersed settlements such as Swampers, Chelly Landing, and Bushes are connected by a network of rural roads that often follow the natural contours of the bayous and brakes.

Genealogists will find a cluster of burial sites including Masonic Cem, Crowville Cem, Magnolia Cem, and Harris Cem. The map illustrates a productive alluvial plain where water bodies like Hollywood Lake, Harris Lake, and Hog Lake suggest a region shaped by shifting river channels. The boundary between Madison Parish and Franklin Parish cuts through the northern section, following the sinuous path of the water, while the Franklin Parish and Tensas Parish line is established in the southeast near Big Roaring Bayou.
