About this map

Bundick Lake dominates the northwest corner of this Louisiana landscape, where the waters of Bundick Creek and several smaller tributaries like Cherry Br and Farris Br converge. The topography is defined by a dense network of watercourses and low-lying drainages, including the appropriately named Steep Gully and Miller Gully. Small communities and named clusters like Dry Creek and Hickory Hollow are connected by a web of local roads, many of which carry family names such as Tommy Bailey Rd, Alvin Reed Rd, and Frank Miller Rd, suggesting a landscape of long-standing family landholdings.

Evidence of the area's history is found in the scattered burial grounds, including Shiloh Cem, Lindsey Cem, and Dry Creek Cem. The inclusion of Old Tram Rd points to the region's historical industrial activities, likely related to timber or rail transport that once moved through these woods. The settlement pattern remains relatively dispersed, centered around the unincorporated community of Dry Creek and nearby Camp Hollow.
