About this map

Bayou Macon snakes through the landscape, defining the boundary between Franklin and Madison Parishes. This 1980s landscape is characterized by a dense network of secondary waterways and low-lying areas like Womble Brake, Howell Brake, and Hollywood Lake. The map reveals a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by the numerous country churches such as Crockett Point Ch, New Hope Ch, and Jesus Name Ch.

Settlement patterns follow the high ground and bayou curves, with Crowville serving as a central hub alongside smaller locales like Bushes and Augusta. Aviation history is present via the Collier Flying Service Landing Strip, while the river's legacy is preserved at Swampers (Killians Ferry). Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of the Masonic Cem and Providence Mem Park Cem, which anchor the local family histories of the region.
