1961 Map of Dry Creek

About this map

Bundick Lake dominates the northwest corner of this Beauregard Parish survey, where the Spillway Elev 95 controls the flow into the meandering waters of Bundick Creek. The landscape is a network of timbered lowlands and creek bottoms, including West Caney Branch and East Caney Branch. Cultural life is anchored by small rural centers like Dry Creek and the settlement at Farris, with community anchors such as Shiloh Ch and Welcome Ch serving the area. Genealogy researchers can find several burial grounds, including Green Cem, Lindsey Cem, and the Dry Creek Cem. An Old Railroad Grade cutting north-to-south through the parish provides a tangible trace of the region's logging or industrial history, while the presence of a Gaging Station on the creek indicates the importance of water management in this drainage system.
