2012 Map of Epps

About this map

Bayou Macon winds through the center of this West Carroll Parish landscape, serving as a primary geographic anchor for the communities of Epps and Monticello. The map reveals a highly structured drainage and transport network defined by agricultural land use, with secondary settlements like Mitchiner and Warden situated along established parish roads. The presence of several hunting or fishing retreats, including Jackson Lodge, Mayburn Lodge, and Mackey Lodge, suggests the importance of the bayou and its surrounding wetlands for local recreation and sport. This 2012 survey also documents important sites for family historians, including Palestine Cem, Fairview Cem, and Seven Star Cem, which are scattered among the grid-patterned fields. From the small-town streets of Epps to the remote stretch of Epps Landing, the map provides a clear view of the region's rural character and its reliance on the complex water systems of Joes Bayou and Cypress Bayou.
