About this map

The Cache River and Bayou De View dominate this landscape in Monroe County, forming a complex network of wetlands and oxbow lakes such as Maloy Lake, Lost Lake, and Ingram Lake. The map details a region defined by its hydrography, where the wandering river channels create distinct landforms like Jones Island and Ninety Point. Human settlement is sparse and closely tied to the few elevated corridors and road networks, with small communities like Allendale and Dagmar situated near the primary transportation routes.

Genealogists and local historians will find several key landmarks preserved on this sheet, including the Philadelphia Cemetery and Choctaw Cemetery. The map also captures several family-named landmarks and access points along the water, such as Dobbs Landing and Eden. The presence of roads like Old Chaney Farm Rd and Biscoe Farm Rd suggests a landscape where agriculture persists alongside the sprawling river bottoms of the Big Robe Bayou and Sevenmile Bayou.
