About this map

Bundick Lake and the branching waters of Bundick Creek dominate the northern landscape of this Beauregard Parish quadrangle. The settlement of Dry Creek serves as a local hub, surrounded by a network of family-named roads such as Odis Greene Rd, Tommy Bailey Rd, and Frank Miller Rd. This intricate web of local thoroughfares reveals a long-standing pattern of rural homesteads and timber-related land use, evidenced by the presence of Old Tram Rd.

Genealogists will find significant value in the preservation of local burial sites, including Shiloh Cem, Lindsey Cem, and the Dry Creek Cem. The terrain is defined by complex drainage systems like Mill Bayou and Steep Gully, which cut through the southern reaches. These watercourses, including Weeks Branch and Kent Branch, illustrate the hydrological importance of the region's low-lying basins in southwest Louisiana.
