About this map

Bundick Lake and its surrounding wetlands define the northern reaches of this Beauregard Parish landscape, where the waters of Bundick Creek flow through a complex network of bayous and gullies. The settlement of Dry Creek sits at a crossroads in the southeast, serving as a focal point for a region characterized by family-named landmarks and rural road networks. Extensive drainage features like Mill Bayou and Steep Gully illustrate the low-lying, water-dominant geography of southwestern Louisiana.

Genealogists will find several local burial sites, including Shiloh Cem in the north and the Dry Creek Cem near the primary settlement. The map reveals a land structured by historical property lines and parish roads, with many labels such as Hickory Hollow and Camp Hollow preserving traditional place names. Small tributaries like Cherry Br and W Caney Br weave through the timbered terrain, marking the many small drainages that feed the larger creek system.
