About this map

Bundick Creek and its many meandering tributaries define the landscape of this portion of Beauregard Parish at the midpoint of the twentieth century. The settlement of Dry Creek serves as a local hub, featuring the Dry Creek Cem and a nearby Gaging Station on the water. The map detail reflects a rural society organized around small communities and religious centers, such as Shiloh Ch and Welcome Ch. Numerous family-named waterways like Walter Miller Gully and Weeks Branch suggest long-standing land ownership patterns and a landscape shaped by local agriculture and forestry. The drainage network, including Little Dry Creek and Crooked Creek, illustrates the complex hydrology of the Louisiana piney woods before later twentieth-century development altered many of these smaller rural environments.
